Every time a Nix database transaction takes place, Nix writes a record of
|
|
this transaction to a <emphasis>log</emphasis> in its database directory
|
|
to ensure that the operation can be replayed in case of a application or
|
|
system crash. However, without manual intervention, the log grows
|
|
indefinitely. Hence, unused log files should be deleted periodically.
|
|
This can be accomplished using the following command:
