+# Shebang interpreter 
+
+The `nix` command can be used as a `#!` interpreter.
+Arguments to Nix can be passed on subsequent lines in the script.
+
+Verbatim strings may be passed in double backtick (```` `` ````) quotes.
+
+`--file` and `--expr` resolve relative paths based on the script location.

+Examples:

+```
+#!/usr/bin/env nix
+#! nix shell --file ``<nixpkgs>`` hello cowsay --command bash
+
+hello | cowsay
+```
+
+or with **flakes**:

+```
+#!/usr/bin/env nix
+#! nix shell nixpkgs#bash nixpkgs#hello nixpkgs#cowsay --command bash

+#! nix terraform.withPlugins (plugins: [ plugins.openstack ])
+#! nix ``
