In addition: - Take the opportunity to add a bunch more missing hyperlinks, too. - Remove some glossary entries that are now subsumed by dedicated pages. We used to not be able to do this without breaking link fragments, but now we can, so pick up where we left off. Co-authored-by: Robert Hensing <roberth@users.noreply.github.com>

Examples
-
Show the store derivation that results from evaluating the Hello package:
# nix derivation show nixpkgs#hello { "/nix/store/s6rn4jz1sin56rf4qj5b5v8jxjm32hlk-hello-2.10.drv": { … } }
-
Show the full derivation graph (if available) that produced your NixOS system:
# nix derivation show -r /run/current-system
-
Print all files fetched using
fetchurl
by Firefox's dependency graph:# nix derivation show -r nixpkgs#firefox \ | jq -r '.[] | select(.outputs.out.hash and .env.urls) | .env.urls' \ | uniq | sort
Note that
.outputs.out.hash
selects fixed-output derivations (derivations that produce output with a specified content hash), while.env.urls
selects derivations with aurls
attribute.
Description
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}}
