nix3-print-dev-env(1)	     General Commands Manual	   nix3-print-dev-env(1)

	    Warning
	    This program is experimental and its interface is subject to change.

Name
     nix  print-dev-env - print shell code that can be sourced by bash to repro-
     duce the build environment of a derivation

Synopsis
     nix print-dev-env [option...] installable

Examples
     *	Apply the build environment of GNU hello to the current shell:

     # . <(nix print-dev-env nixpkgs#hello)

     *	Get the build environment in JSON format:

     # nix print-dev-env nixpkgs#hello --json

	    The output will look like this:

     {
     "bashFunctions": {
       "buildPhase": " \n    runHook preBuild;\n...",
       ...
     },
     "variables": {
       "src": {
	 "type": "exported",
	 "value": "/nix/store/3x7dwzq014bblazs7kq20p9hyzz0qh8g-hello-2.10.tar.gz"
       },
       "postUnpackHooks": {
	 "type": "array",
	 "value": ["_updateSourceDateEpochFromSourceRoot"]
       },
       ...
     }
     }

Description
     This command prints a shell script that can be sourced  by  bash  and  that
     sets  the variables and shell functions defined by the build process of in-
     stallable. This allows you to get a similar build environment in your  cur-
     rent shell rather than in a subshell (as with nix develop).

     With  --json, the output is a JSON serialisation of the variables and func-
     tions defined by the build process.

Options
     *	--json

	Produce output in JSON format, suitable for consumption by another  pro-
	gram.

     *	--no-pretty

	Print  compact	JSON  output on a single line, even when the output is a
	terminal.  Some commands may print multiple  JSON  objects  on	separate
	lines.

		 See `--pretty`.

     *	--pretty

	Print multi-line, indented JSON output for readability.

		 Default: indent if output is to a terminal.

		 This option is only effective when `--json` is also specified.

     *	--profile path

	The profile to operate on.

     *	--redirect installable outputs-dir

	Redirect a store path to a mutable location.

   Common evaluation options
     *	--arg name expr

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

     *	--arg-from-file name path

	Pass the contents of file path as the argument name to Nix functions.

     *	--arg-from-stdin name

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

     *	--argstr name string

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

     *	--debugger

	Start an interactive environment if evaluation fails.

     *	--eval-store store-url

	The  URL  of  the Nix store to use for evaluation, i.e. to store deriva-
	tions (.drv files) and inputs referenced by them.

     *	--impure

	Allow access to mutable paths and repositories.

     *	--include / -I path

	Add path to search path entries used to resolve lookup paths

	This option may be given multiple times.

	Paths added through -I take precedence over the  nix-path  configuration
	setting and the NIX_PATH environment variable.

     *	--override-flake original-ref resolved-ref

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

   Common flake-related options
     *	--commit-lock-file

	Commit changes to the flake's lock file.

     *	--inputs-from flake-url

	Use the inputs of the specified flake as registry entries.

     *	--no-registries

	Don't allow lookups in the flake registries.

	       DEPRECATED

	       Use --no-use-registries instead.

     *	--no-update-lock-file

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

     *	--no-write-lock-file

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

     *	--output-lock-file flake-lock-path

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

     *	--override-input input-path flake-url

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

     *	--recreate-lock-file

	Recreate the flake's lock file from scratch.

	       DEPRECATED

	       Use nix flake update instead.

     *	--reference-lock-file flake-lock-path

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

     *	--update-input input-path

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

	       DEPRECATED

	       Use nix flake update instead.

   Logging-related options
     *	--debug

	Set the logging verbosity level to `debug'.

     *	--log-format format

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

     *	--print-build-logs / -L

	Print full build logs on standard error.

     *	--quiet

	Decrease the logging verbosity level.

     *	--verbose / -v

	Increase the logging verbosity level.

   Miscellaneous global options
     *	--help

	Show usage information.

     *	--offline

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

     *	--option name value

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

     *	--refresh

	Consider all previously downloaded files out-of-date.

     *	--repair

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

     *	--version

	Show version information.

   Options that change the interpretation of installables
     *	--expr expr

	Interpret installables as attribute paths relative to the Nix expression
	expr.

     *	--file / -f file

	Interpret installables as attribute paths relative to the Nix expression
	stored	in  file.  If  file is the character -, then a Nix expression is
	read from standard input. Implies --impure.

	Note

	See man nix.conf for overriding configuration settings with command line
	flags.
