	    Warning
	    This program is experimental 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 a 2020-04-07-5.8.18
     baloo-widgets: 20.08.1 a 20.08.2
     bluez-qt: +12.6 KiB
     dolphin: 20.08.1 a 20.08.2, +13.9 KiB
     kdeconnect: 20.08.2 a a, -6597.8 KiB
     kdeconnect-kde: a a 20.08.2, +6599.7 KiB
     a|

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

     For each package name in the two closures (where a package name is  defined
     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 a 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 represented using a
     (empty set) on the appropriate side of the arrow. If a package has an empty
     version string, the version is rendered as I<micro> (epsilon).

     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 a 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 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
     *	--derivation

	Operate on the store derivation rather than its outputs.

     *	--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.
