Show the store derivation that results from evaluating the Hello package:
Show the full derivation graph (if available) that produced your NixOS system:
Print all files fetched using fetchurl
by Firefox's dependency graph:
Note that .outputs.out.hash
selects fixed-output derivations (derivations that produce output with a specified content hash), while .env.urls
selects derivations with a urls
attribute.
This command prints on standard output a JSON representation of the store derivations to which installables evaluate.
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.
By default, this command only shows top-level derivations, but with --recursive
, it also shows their dependencies.
nix derivation show
outputs a JSON map of store paths to derivations in the following format:
{{#include ../../protocols/json/derivation.md}}
