Don't show flags from config settings in "nix --help" 2017-06-07 18:41:20 +02:00

nix: Make all options available as flags
Thus, instead of ‘--option <name> <value>’, you can write ‘--<name>
<value>’. So

  --option http-connections 100

becomes

  --http-connections 100

Apart from brevity, the difference is that it's not an error to set a
non-existent option via --option, but unrecognized arguments are
fatal.

Boolean options have special treatment: they're mapped to the
argument-less flags ‘--<name>’ and ‘--no-<name>’. E.g.

  --option auto-optimise-store false

becomes

  --no-auto-optimise-store

Convert Settings to the new config system
This makes all config options self-documenting.

Unknown or unparseable config settings and --option flags now cause a
warning.

Will Dietz 30f89e0d65 Process nix.conf options in "new" nix commands, add test.
Without this (minor) change, the options set using "--option"
or read from nix.conf were parsed but not used.

Eelco Dolstra 41633f9f73 Improved logging abstraction
This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't
useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the
"pretty" log type.
