Good to document these formats separately from commands that happen to use them. Eventually I would like this and `builtins.derivation` to refer to a store section on derivations that is authoritative, but that doesn't yet exist, and will take some time to make. So I think we're just best off merging this now as is. Co-authored-by: Valentin Gagarin <valentin.gagarin@tweag.io>

# Description
|
|
|
|
This command reads from standard input a JSON representation of a
|
|
[store derivation] to which an [*installable*](./nix.md#installables) evaluates.
|
|
|
|
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.

`nix derivation add` takes a single derivation in the following format:
