nix realisation info

Warning: This program is experimental and its interface is subject to change.

# Name

`nix realisation info` - query information about one or several realisations

# Synopsis

`nix realisation info` [option...] installables...

# Description

Display some information about the given realisation

# Examples

Show some information about the realisation of the `hello` package:

    $ nix realisation info nixpkgs#hello --json
    [{"id":"sha256:3d382378a00588e064ee30be96dd0fa7e7df7cf3fbcace85a0e7b7dada1eef25!out","outPath":"fd3m7xawvrqcg98kgz5hc2vk3x9q0lh7-hello"}]

# Options

- `--json`
  Produce output in JSON format, suitable for consumption by another program.

Common evaluation options:

- `--arg` name expr
  Pass the value expr as the argument name to Nix functions.

- `--argstr` name string
  Pass the string string as the argument name to Nix functions.

- `--eval-store` store-url
  The Nix store to use for evaluations.

- `--impure`
  Allow access to mutable paths and repositories.

- `--include` / `-I` path
  Add path to the list of locations used to look up `<...>` file names.

- `--override-flake` original-ref resolved-ref
  Override the flake registries, redirecting original-ref to resolved-ref.

Common flake-related options:

- `--commit-lock-file`
  Commit changes to the flake's lock file.

- `--inputs-from` flake-url
  Use the inputs of the specified flake as registry entries.

- `--no-registries`
  Don't allow lookups in the flake registries. This option is deprecated; use `--no-use-registries`.

- `--no-update-lock-file`
  Do not allow any updates to the flake's lock file.

- `--no-write-lock-file`
  Do not write the flake's newly generated lock file.

- `--override-input` input-path flake-url
  Override a specific flake input (e.g. `dwarffs/nixpkgs`). This implies `--no-write-lock-file`.

- `--recreate-lock-file`
  Recreate the flake's lock file from scratch.

- `--update-input` input-path
  Update a specific flake input (ignoring its previous entry in the lock file).

Options that change the interpretation of installables:

- `--all`
  Apply the operation to every store path.

- `--derivation`
  Operate on the store derivation rather than its outputs.

- `--expr` expr
  Interpret installables as attribute paths relative to the Nix expression expr.

- `--file` / `-f` file
  Interpret installables as attribute paths relative to the Nix expression stored in file. If file is the character -, then a Nix expression will be read from standard input.

- `--recursive` / `-r`
  Apply operation to closure of the specified paths.
