-# NixOS manpages
-
-This is the collection of NixOS manpages, excluding `configuration.nix(5)`.
-
-Man pages are written in [`mdoc(7)` format](https://mandoc.bsd.lv/man/mdoc.7.html) and should be portable between mandoc and groff for rendering (though minor differences may occur, mandoc and groff seem to have slightly different spacing rules.)
-
-For previewing edited files, you can just run `man -l path/to/file.8` and you will see it rendered.
-
-Being written in `mdoc` these manpages use semantic markup. This file provides a guideline on where to apply which of the semantic elements of `mdoc`.
-
-### Command lines and arguments
-
-In any manpage, commands, flags and arguments to the *current* executable should be marked according to their semantics. Commands, flags and arguments passed to *other* executables should not be marked like this and should instead be considered as code examples and marked with `Ql`.
-
- - Use `Fl` to mark flag arguments, `Ar` for their arguments.
- - Repeating arguments should be marked by adding ellipses (`...`).
- - Use `Cm` to mark literal string arguments, e.g. the `boot` command argument passed to `nixos-rebuild`.
- - Optional flags or arguments should be marked with `Op`. This includes optional repeating arguments.
- - Required flags or arguments should not be marked.
- - Mutually exclusive groups of arguments should be enclosed in curly brackets, preferably created with `Bro`/`Brc` blocks.
-
-When an argument is used in an example it should be marked up with `Ar` again to differentiate it from a constant. For example, a command with a `--host name` flag that calls ssh to retrieve the host's local time would signify this thusly:
-```
-This will run
-.Ic ssh Ar name Ic time
-to retrieve the remote time.
-```
-
-### Paths, NixOS options, environment variables
-
-Constant paths should be marked with `Pa`, NixOS options with `Va`, and environment variables with `Ev`.
-
-Generated paths, e.g. `result/bin/run-hostname-vm` (where `hostname` is a variable or arguments) should be marked as `Ql` inline literals with their variable components marked appropriately.
-
- - Taking `hostname` from an argument become `.Ql result/bin/run- Ns Ar hostname Ns -vm`
- - Taking `hostname` from a variable otherwise defined becomes `.Ql result/bin/run- Ns Va hostname Ns -vm`
-
-### Code examples and other commands
-
-In free text names and complete invocations of other commands (e.g. `ssh` or `tar -xvf src.tar`) should be marked with `Ic`, fragments of command lines should be marked with `Ql`.
-
-Larger code blocks or those that cannot be shown inline should use indented literal display block markup for their contents, i.e.
-```
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-...
-.Ed
-```
-Contents of code blocks may be marked up further, e.g. if they refer to arguments that will be substituted into them:
-```
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-{
-  options.hostname = "\c
-.Ar hostname Ns \c
-";
-}
-.Ed
-```

-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-.
-This command builds a network of QEMU\-KVM virtual machines of a Nix expression
-specifying a network of NixOS machines. The virtual network can be started by
-executing the
-.Pa bin/run-vms
-shell script that is generated by this command. By default, a
-.Pa result
-symlink is produced that points to the generated virtual network.
-.
-.Pp
-A network Nix expression has the following structure:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-{
-  test1 = {pkgs, config, ...}:
-    {
-      services.openssh.enable = true;
-      nixpkgs.localSystem.system = "i686-linux";
-      deployment.targetHost = "test1.example.net";
-
-      # Other NixOS options
-    };
-
-  test2 = {pkgs, config, ...}:
-    {
-      services.openssh.enable = true;
-      services.httpd.enable = true;
-      environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.lynx ];
-      nixpkgs.localSystem.system = "x86_64-linux";
-      deployment.targetHost = "test2.example.net";
-
-      # Other NixOS options
-    };
-}
-.Ed
-.
-.Pp
-Each attribute in the expression represents a machine in the network
-.Ns (e.g.
-.Va test1
-and
-.Va test2 Ns
-) referring to a function defining a NixOS configuration. In each NixOS
-configuration, two attributes have a special meaning. The
-.Va deployment.targetHost
-specifies the address (domain name or IP address) of the system which is used by
-.Ic ssh
-to perform remote deployment operations. The
-.Va nixpkgs.localSystem.system
-attribute can be used to specify an architecture for the target machine, such as
-.Ql i686-linux
-which builds a 32-bit NixOS configuration. Omitting this property will build the
-configuration for the same architecture as the host system.

-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-This command writes two NixOS configuration modules:
-.Bl -tag -width indent

-This module sets NixOS configuration options based on your current hardware
-configuration. In particular, it sets the
-.Va fileSystem

-option to reflect active swap devices, and the
-.Va boot.initrd.*
-options to ensure that the initial ramdisk contains any kernel modules necessary
-for mounting the root file system.
-.Pp
-If this file already exists, it is overwritten. Thus, you should not modify it

-.
-.
-.Sh OPTIONS
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Fl -root Ar root
-If this option is given, treat the directory
-.Ar root
-as the root of the file system. This means that configuration files will be written to
-.Ql Ar root Ns /etc/nixos Ns
-, and that any file systems outside of

-option.
-.
-.It Fl -dir Ar dir
-If this option is given, write the configuration files to the directory

-.
-.It
-It installs the GRUB boot loader on the device specified in the option
-.Va boot.loader.grub.device
-(unless

-is specified), and generates a GRUB configuration file that boots into the NixOS
-configuration just installed.
-.
-.It
-It prompts you for a password for the root account (unless
-.Fl -no-root-password
-is specified).
-.El
-.
-.Pp
-This command is idempotent: if it is interrupted or fails due to a temporary
-problem (e.g. a network issue), you can safely re-run it.
-.
-.
-.
-.Sh OPTIONS
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Fl -verbose , v
-Increases the level of verbosity of diagnostic messages printed on standard
-error. For each Nix operation, the information printed on standard output is
-well-defined; any diagnostic information is printed on standard error, never on
-standard output.
-.Pp
-Please note that this option may be specified repeatedly.
-.
-.It Fl -root Ar root
-Defaults to
-.Pa /mnt Ns
-\&. If this option is given, treat the directory
-.Ar root
-as the root of the NixOS installation.
-.
-.It Fl -system Ar path
-If this option is provided,
-.Nm
-will install the specified closure rather than attempt to build one from
-.Pa /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix Ns
-\&.
-.Pp
-The closure must be an appropriately configured NixOS system, with boot loader
-and partition configuration that fits the target host. Such a closure is
-typically obtained with a command such as
-.Ic nix-build -I nixos-config=./configuration.nix '<nixpkgs/nixos>' -A system --no-out-link Ns
-\&.
-.
-.It Fl -flake Ar flake-uri Ns # Ns Ar name
-Build the NixOS system from the specified flake. The flake must contain an
-output named
-.Ql nixosConfigurations. Ns Ar name Ns
-\&.
-.
-.It Fl -channel Ar channel
-If this option is provided, do not copy the current
-.Dq nixos
-channel to the target host. Instead, use the specified derivation.
-.
-.It Fl I Ar Path
-Add a path to the Nix expression search path. This option may be given multiple
-times. See the
-.Ev NIX_PATH
-environment variable for information on the semantics of the Nix search path. Paths added through
-.Fl I
-take precedence over
-.Ev NIX_PATH Ns
-\&.
-.
-.It Fl -max-jobs , j Ar number
-Sets the maximum number of build jobs that Nix will perform in parallel to the
-specified number. The default is 1. A higher value is useful on SMP systems or
-to exploit I/O latency.
-.
-.It Fl -cores Ar N
-Sets the value of the
-.Ev NIX_BUILD_CORES
-environment variable in the invocation of builders. Builders can use this
-variable at their discretion to control the maximum amount of parallelism. For
-instance, in Nixpkgs, if the derivation attribute
-.Va enableParallelBuilding
-is set to true, the builder passes the
-.Fl j Ns Va N
-flag to GNU Make. The value 0 means that the builder should use all available CPU cores in the system.
-.
-.It Fl -option Ar name value
-Set the Nix configuration option
-.Ar name
-to
-.Ar value Ns
-\&.
-.
-.It Fl -show-trace
-Causes Nix to print out a stack trace in case of Nix expression evaluation errors.
-.
-.It Fl -keep-going
-Causes Nix to continue building derivations as far as possible in the face of failed builds.
-.
-.It Fl -help
-Synonym for
-.Ic man nixos-install Ns
-\&.
-.El
-.
-.
-.
-.Sh EXAMPLES
-A typical NixOS installation is done by creating and mounting a file system on
-.Pa /mnt Ns

-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-This command updates the system so that it corresponds to the
-configuration specified in
-.Pa /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
-or
-.Pa /etc/nixos/flake.nix Ns
-\&. Thus, every time you modify the configuration or any other NixOS module, you
-must run
-.Nm
-to make the changes take effect. It builds the new system in
-.Pa /nix/store Ns
-, runs its activation script, and stop and (re)starts any system services if
-needed. Please note that user services need to be started manually as they
-aren't detected by the activation script at the moment.
-.
-.Pp
-This command has one required argument, which specifies the desired
-operation. It must be one of the following:
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Cm switch
-Build and activate the new configuration, and make it the boot default. That
-is, the configuration is added to the GRUB boot menu as the default
-menu entry, so that subsequent reboots will boot the system into the new
-configuration. Previous configurations activated with
-.Ic nixos-rebuild switch
-or
-.Ic nixos-rebuild boot
-remain available in the GRUB menu.
-.Pp
-Note that if you are using specializations, running just
-.Ic nixos-rebuild switch
-will switch you back to the unspecialized, base system \(em in that case, you
-might want to use this instead:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-$ nixos-rebuild switch --specialisation your-specialisation-name
-.Ed
-.Pp
-This command will build all specialisations and make them bootable just
-like regular
-.Ic nixos-rebuild switch
-does \(em the only thing different is that it will switch to given
-specialisation instead of the base system; it can be also used to switch from
-the base system into a specialised one, or to switch between specialisations.
-.
-.It Cm boot
-Build the new configuration and make it the boot default (as with
-.Ic nixos-rebuild switch Ns
-), but do not activate it. That is, the system continues to run the previous
-configuration until the next reboot.
-.
-.It Cm test
-Build and activate the new configuration, but do not add it to the GRUB
-boot menu. Thus, if you reboot the system (or if it crashes), you will
-automatically revert to the default configuration (i.e. the
-configuration resulting from the last call to
-.Ic nixos-rebuild switch
-or
-.Ic nixos-rebuild boot Ns
-).
-.Pp
-Note that if you are using specialisations, running just
-.Ic nixos-rebuild test
-will activate the unspecialised, base system \(em in that case, you might want
-to use this instead:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-$ nixos-rebuild test --specialisation your-specialisation-name
-.Ed
-.Pp
-This command can be also used to switch from the base system into a
-specialised one, or to switch between specialisations.
-.
-.It Cm build
-Build the new configuration, but neither activate it nor add it to the
-GRUB boot menu. It leaves a symlink named
-.Pa result
-in the current directory, which points to the output of the top-level
-.Dq system
-derivation. This is essentially the same as doing
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-$ nix-build /path/to/nixpkgs/nixos -A system
-.Ed
-.Pp
-Note that you do not need to be root to run
-.Ic nixos-rebuild build Ns
-\&.
-.
-.It Cm dry-build
-Show what store paths would be built or downloaded by any of the
-operations above, but otherwise do nothing.
-.
-.It Cm dry-activate
-Build the new configuration, but instead of activating it, show what
-changes would be performed by the activation (i.e. by
-.Ic nixos-rebuild test Ns
-). For instance, this command will print which systemd units would be restarted.
-The list of changes is not guaranteed to be complete.
-.
-.It Cm edit
-Opens
-.Pa configuration.nix
-in the default editor.
-.
-.It Cm build-vm
-Build a script that starts a NixOS virtual machine with the desired
-configuration. It leaves a symlink
-.Pa result
-in the current directory that points (under
-.Ql result/bin/run\- Ns Va hostname Ns \-vm Ns
-)
-at the script that starts the VM. Thus, to test a NixOS configuration in
-a virtual machine, you should do the following:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-$ nixos-rebuild build-vm
-$ ./result/bin/run-*-vm
-.Ed
-.Pp
-The VM is implemented using the
-.Ql qemu
-package. For best performance, you should load the
-.Ql kvm-intel
-or
-.Ql kvm-amd
-kernel modules to get hardware virtualisation.
-.Pp
-The VM mounts the Nix store of the host through the 9P file system. The
-host Nix store is read-only, so Nix commands that modify the Nix store
-will not work in the VM. This includes commands such as
-.Nm Ns
-; to change the VM’s configuration, you must halt the VM and re-run the commands
-above.
-.Pp
-The VM has its own ext3 root file system, which is automatically created when
-the VM is first started, and is persistent across reboots of the VM. It is
-stored in
-.Ql ./ Ns Va hostname Ns .qcow2 Ns
-\&.
-.\" The entire file system hierarchy of the host is available in
-.\" the VM under
-.\" .Pa /hostfs Ns
-.\" .
-.
-.It Cm build-vm-with-bootloader
-Like
-.Cm build-vm Ns
-, but boots using the regular boot loader of your configuration (e.g. GRUB 1 or
-2), rather than booting directly into the kernel and initial ramdisk of the
-system. This allows you to test whether the boot loader works correctly. \
-However, it does not guarantee that your NixOS configuration will boot
-successfully on the host hardware (i.e., after running
-.Ic nixos-rebuild switch Ns
-), because the hardware and boot loader configuration in the VM are different.
-The boot loader is installed on an automatically generated virtual disk
-containing a
-.Pa /boot
-partition.
-.El

-.
-.Sh OPTIONS
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Fl -upgrade , -upgrade-all
-Update the root user's channel named
-.Ql nixos
-before rebuilding the system.
-.Pp
-In addition to the
-.Ql nixos
-channel, the root user's channels which have a file named
-.Ql .update-on-nixos-rebuild
-in their base directory will also be updated.
-.Pp
-Passing
-.Fl -upgrade-all
-updates all of the root user's channels.
-.
-.It Fl -install-bootloader
-Causes the boot loader to be (re)installed on the device specified by the
-relevant configuration options.
-.
-.It Fl -no-build-nix
-Normally,
-.Nm
-first builds the
-.Ql nixUnstable
-attribute in Nixpkgs, and uses the resulting instance of the Nix package manager
-to build the new system configuration. This is necessary if the NixOS modules
-use features not provided by the currently installed version of Nix. This option
-disables building a new Nix.
-.
-.It Fl -fast
-Equivalent to
-.Fl -no-build-nix Ns
-\&. This option is useful if you call
-.Nm
-frequently (e.g. if you’re hacking on a NixOS module).
-.
-.It Fl -rollback
-Instead of building a new configuration as specified by
-.Pa /etc/nixos/configuration.nix Ns
-, roll back to the previous configuration. (The previous configuration is
-defined as the one before the “current” generation of the Nix profile
-.Pa /nix/var/nix/profiles/system Ns
-\&.)
-.
-.It Fl -builders Ar builder-spec
-Allow ad-hoc remote builders for building the new system. This requires
-the user executing
-.Nm
-(usually root) to be configured as a trusted user in the Nix daemon. This can be
-achieved by using the
-.Va nix.settings.trusted-users
-NixOS option. Examples values for that option are described in the
-.Dq Remote builds
-chapter in the Nix manual, (i.e.
-.Ql --builders \(dqssh://bigbrother x86_64-linux\(dq Ns
-). By specifying an empty string existing builders specified in
-.Pa /etc/nix/machines
-can be ignored:
-.Ql --builders \(dq\(dq
-for example when they are not reachable due to network connectivity.
-.
-.It Fl -profile-name Ar name , Fl p Ar name
-Instead of using the Nix profile
-.Pa /nix/var/nix/profiles/system
-to keep track of the current and previous system configurations, use
-.Pa /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-profiles/ Ns Va name Ns
-\&. When you use GRUB 2, for every system profile created with this flag, NixOS
-will create a submenu named
-.Dq NixOS - Profile Va name
-in GRUB’s boot menu, containing the current and previous configurations of this profile.
-.Pp
-For instance, if you want to test a configuration file named
-.Pa test.nix
-without affecting the default system profile, you would do:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-$ nixos-rebuild switch -p test -I nixos-config=./test.nix
-.Ed
-.Pp
-The new configuration will appear in the GRUB 2 submenu
-.Dq NixOS - Profile 'test' Ns
-\&.
-.
-.It Fl -specialisation Ar name , Fl c Ar name
-Activates given specialisation; when not specified, switching and testing
-will activate the base, unspecialised system.
-.
-.It Fl -build-host Ar host
-Instead of building the new configuration locally, use the specified host
-to perform the build. The host needs to be accessible with
-.Ic ssh Ns ,
-and must be able to perform Nix builds. If the option
-.Fl -target-host
-is not set, the build will be copied back to the local machine when done.
-.Pp
-Note that, if
-.Fl -no-build-nix
-is not specified, Nix will be built both locally and remotely. This is because
-the configuration will always be evaluated locally even though the building
-might be performed remotely.
-.Pp
-You can include a remote user name in the host name
-.Ns ( Va user@host Ns
-). You can also set ssh options by defining the
-.Ev NIX_SSHOPTS
-environment variable.
-.
-.It Fl -target-host Ar host
-Specifies the NixOS target host. By setting this to something other than an
-empty string, the system activation will happen on the remote host instead of
-the local machine. The remote host needs to be accessible over
-.Ic ssh Ns ,
-and for the commands
-.Cm switch Ns
-,
-.Cm boot
-and
-.Cm test
-you need root access.
-.Pp
-If
-.Fl -build-host
-is not explicitly specified or empty, building will take place locally.
-.Pp
-You can include a remote user name in the host name
-.Ns ( Va user@host Ns
-). You can also set ssh options by defining the
-.Ev NIX_SSHOPTS
-environment variable.
-.Pp
-Note that
-.Nm
-honors the
-.Va nixpkgs.crossSystem
-setting of the given configuration but disregards the true architecture of the
-target host. Hence the
-.Va nixpkgs.crossSystem
-setting has to match the target platform or else activation will fail.
-.
-.It Fl -use-substitutes
-When set, nixos-rebuild will add
-.Fl -use-substitutes
-to each invocation of nix-copy-closure. This will only affect the behavior of
-nixos-rebuild if
-.Fl -target-host
-or
-.Fl -build-host
-is also set. This is useful when the target-host connection to cache.nixos.org
-is faster than the connection between hosts.
-.
-.It Fl -use-remote-sudo
-When set, nixos-rebuild prefixes remote commands that run on the
-.Fl -build-host
-and
-.Fl -target-host
-systems with
-.Ic sudo Ns
-\&. Setting this option allows deploying as a non-root user.
-.
-.It Fl -flake Va flake-uri Ns Op Va #name
-Build the NixOS system from the specified flake. It defaults to the directory
-containing the target of the symlink
-.Pa /etc/nixos/flake.nix Ns
-, if it exists. The flake must contain an output named
-.Ql nixosConfigurations. Ns Va name Ns
-\&. If
-.Va name
-is omitted, it default to the current host name.
-.
-.It Fl -no-flake
-Do not imply
-.Fl -flake
-if
-.Pa /etc/nixos/flake.nix
-exists. With this option, it is possible to build non-flake NixOS configurations
-even if the current NixOS systems uses flakes.
-.El

-The NixOS release, indicating the year and month in which it was released
-(e.g. March 2016).
-.It Ql 1011
-The number of commits in the Nixpkgs Git repository between the start of the
-release branch and the commit from which this version was built. This ensures
-that NixOS versions are monotonically increasing. It is
