# nix profile list
Index: 0
Flake attribute: legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.gdb
Original flake URL: flake:nixpkgs
Locked flake URL: github:NixOS/nixpkgs/7b38b03d76ab71bdc8dc325e3f6338d984cc35ca
Store paths: /nix/store/indzcw5wvlhx6vwk7k4iq29q15chvr3d-gdb-11.1
Index: 1
Flake attribute: packages.x86_64-linux.default
Original flake URL: flake:blender-bin
Locked flake URL: github:edolstra/nix-warez/91f2ffee657bf834e4475865ae336e2379282d34?dir=blender
Store paths: /nix/store/i798sxl3j40wpdi1rgf391id1b5klw7g-blender-bin-3.1.2

```
Note that you can unambiguously rebuild a package from a profile
through its locked flake URL and flake attribute, e.g.
```console
# nix build github:edolstra/nix-warez/91f2ffee657bf834e4475865ae336e2379282d34?dir=blender#packages.x86_64-linux.default
```
will build the package with index 1 shown above.

# Description
This command shows what packages are currently installed in a
profile. For each installed package, it shows the following
information:
* `Index`: An integer that can be used to unambiguously identify the
package in invocations of `nix profile remove` and `nix profile
upgrade`.
2020-12-18 15:25:36 +02:00
* `Flake attribute`: The flake output attribute path that provides the
package (e.g. `packages.x86_64-linux.hello`).
2020-12-18 15:25:36 +02:00
* `Original flake URL`: The original ("unlocked") flake reference
specified by the user when the package was first installed via `nix
profile install`.
2020-12-18 15:25:36 +02:00
* `Locked flake URL`: The locked flake reference to which the original
flake reference was resolved.
2020-12-18 15:25:36 +02:00
* `Store paths`: The store path(s) of the package.
