R""(
**Note:** this command's interface is based heavily around [*installables*](./nix.md#installables), which you may want to read about first (`nix --help`).
# Description
This command reads from standard input a JSON representation of a
[store derivation] to which an [*installable*](./nix.md#installables) evaluates.
Store derivations are used internally by Nix. They are store paths with
extension `.drv` that represent the build-time dependency graph to which
a Nix expression evaluates.
[store derivation]: ../../glossary.md#gloss-store-derivation
The JSON format is documented under the [`derivation show`] command.
[`derivation show`]: ./nix3-derivation-show.md
