+      Causes the output written by build actions to standard output
+      and standard error to be echoed to standard error, regardless of
+      verbosity level.  By default, it is only echoed at a verbosity
+      level of at least 4 (<quote>Debug</quote>), and is suppressed at
+      lower levels.  Note that it is always written to a log file in
+      <filename><replaceable>prefix</replaceable>/nix/var/log/nix</filename>.
