nix3-store-diff-closures(1) General Commands Manualnix3-store-diff-closures(1)

	      Warning
	      This  program  is	 experimental <../../development/experimental-
	      features.md#xp-feature-nix-command> and its interface is subject
	      to change.

Name
       nix store diff-closures - show what packages and	 versions  were	 added
       and removed between two closures

Synopsis
       nix store diff-closures [option...] before after

Examples
         Show	what  got  added and removed between two versions of the NixOS
	  system profile:

       # nix store diff-closures /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-655-link /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-658-link
       acpi-call: 2020-04-07-5.8.16  2020-04-07-5.8.18
       baloo-widgets: 20.08.1  20.08.2
       bluez-qt: +12.6 KiB
       dolphin:	20.08.1	 20.08.2, +13.9	KiB
       kdeconnect: 20.08.2  , -6597.8 KiB
       kdeconnect-kde:	 20.08.2, +6599.7 KiB

Description
       This command shows the differences between the two closures before  and
       after with respect to the addition, removal, or version change of pack-
       ages, as	well as	changes	in store path sizes.

       For  each package name in the two closures (where a package name	is de-
       fined as	the name component of a	store path excluding the version),  if
       there is	a change in the	set of versions	of the package,	or a change in
       the  size  of the store paths of	more than 8 KiB, it prints a line like
       this:

       dolphin:	20.08.1	 20.08.2, +13.9	KiB

       No size change is shown if it's below the  threshold.  If  the  package
       does  not  exist	 in  either the	before or after	closures, it is	repre-
       sented using  (empty set) on the	appropriate side of the	 arrow.	 If  a
       package	has  an	empty version string, the version is rendered as  (ep-
       silon).

       There may be multiple versions of a package in each  closure.  In  that
       case, only the changed versions are shown. Thus,

       libfoo: 1.2, 1.3	 1.4

       leaves  open  the  possibility that there are other versions (e.g. 1.1)
       that exist in both closures.

Options
   Common evaluation options
         --arg	<#opt-arg> name	expr

	  Pass the value expr as the argument name to Nix functions.

         --arg-from-file <#opt-arg-from-file> name path

	  Pass the contents of file path as the	argument  name	to  Nix	 func-
	  tions.

         --arg-from-stdin <#opt-arg-from-stdin> name

	  Pass the contents of stdin as	the argument name to Nix functions.

         --argstr <#opt-argstr> name string

	  Pass the string string as the	argument name to Nix functions.

         --debugger <#opt-debugger>

	  Start	an interactive environment if evaluation fails.

         --eval-store <#opt-eval-store> store-url

	  The  URL  of	the  Nix  store	<../../store/types/index.md#store-url-
	  format> to use for  evaluation,  i.e.	 to  store  derivations	 (.drv
	  files) and inputs referenced by them.

         --impure <#opt-impure>

	  Allow	access to mutable paths	and repositories.

         --include <#opt-include> / -I	path

	  Add  path  to	 search	 path  entries	used  to  resolve lookup paths
	  <../../language/constructs/lookup-path.md>

	  This option may be given multiple times.

	  Paths	added through -I take precedence over the nix-path  configura-
	  tion	setting	<../../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-nix-path> and the
	  NIX_PATH environment variable	 <../../command-ref/env-common.md#env-
	  NIX_PATH>.

         --override-flake <#opt-override-flake> original-ref resolved-ref

	  Override the flake registries, redirecting original-ref to resolved-
	  ref.

   Common flake-related	options
         --commit-lock-file <#opt-commit-lock-file>

	  Commit changes to the	flake's	lock file.

         --inputs-from	<#opt-inputs-from> flake-url

	  Use the inputs of the	specified flake	as registry entries.

         --no-registries <#opt-no-registries>

	  Don't	allow lookups in the flake registries.

		 DEPRECATED

		 Use --no-use-registries <../../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-
		 use-registries> instead.

         --no-update-lock-file	<#opt-no-update-lock-file>

	  Do not allow any updates to the flake's lock file.

         --no-write-lock-file <#opt-no-write-lock-file>

	  Do not write the flake's newly generated lock	file.

         --output-lock-file <#opt-output-lock-file> flake-lock-path

	  Write	the given lock file instead of flake.lock within the top-level
	  flake.

         --override-input <#opt-override-input> input-path flake-url

	  Override a specific flake input (e.g.	dwarffs/nixpkgs). This implies
	  --no-write-lock-file.

         --recreate-lock-file <#opt-recreate-lock-file>

	  Recreate the flake's lock file from scratch.

		 DEPRECATED

		 Use  nix  flake update	<../../command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake-
		 update.md> instead.

         --reference-lock-file	<#opt-reference-lock-file> flake-lock-path

	  Read the given lock file instead of flake.lock within	the  top-level
	  flake.

         --update-input <#opt-update-input> input-path

	  Update  a  specific  flake input (ignoring its previous entry	in the
	  lock file).

		 DEPRECATED

		 Use nix flake	update	<../../command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake-
		 update.md> instead.

   Logging-related options
         --debug <#opt-debug>

	  Set the logging verbosity level to `debug'.

         --log-format <#opt-log-format> format

	  Set the format of log	output;	one of raw, internal-json, bar or bar-
	  with-logs.

         --print-build-logs <#opt-print-build-logs> / -L

	  Print	full build logs	on standard error.

         --quiet <#opt-quiet>

	  Decrease the logging verbosity level.

         --verbose <#opt-verbose> / -v

   Miscellaneous global	options
         --help <#opt-help>

	  Show usage information.

         --offline <#opt-offline>

	  Disable  substituters	 and  consider all previously downloaded files
	  up-to-date.

         --option <#opt-option> name value

	  Set  the  Nix	 configuration	setting	 name  to  value   (overriding
	  nix.conf).

         --refresh <#opt-refresh>

	  Consider all previously downloaded files out-of-date.

         --repair <#opt-repair>

	  During  evaluation,  rewrite	missing	 or corrupted files in the Nix
	  store. During	building, rebuild missing or corrupted store paths.

         --version <#opt-version>

	  Show version information.

   Options that	change the interpretation of installables
         --derivation <#opt-derivation>

	  Operate  on  the  store  derivation  <../../glossary.md#gloss-store-
	  derivation> rather than its outputs.

         --expr <#opt-expr> expr

	  Interpret	       installables	       <../../command-ref/new-
	  cli/nix.md#installables> as attribute	paths relative to the Nix  ex-
	  pression expr.

         --file <#opt-file> / -f file

	  Interpret	       installables	       <../../command-ref/new-
	  cli/nix.md#installables> as attribute	paths relative to the Nix  ex-
	  pression  stored in file. If file is the character -,	then a Nix ex-
	  pression is read from	standard input.	Implies	--impure.

	  Note

	  See man nix.conf <../../command-ref/conf-file.md#command-line-flags>
	  for overriding configuration settings	with command line flags.
