These are paths inside the Nix store, or symlinks that resolve to a path in the Nix store.
|
||||
|
||||
### Store derivation
|
||||
A [store derivation] is also addressed by store path.
|
||||
|
||||
Example: `/nix/store/p7gp6lxdg32h4ka1q398wd9r2zkbbz2v-hello-2.10.drv`
|
||||
|
||||
By default, if you pass a [store derivation] path to a `nix` subcommand other than [`show-derivation`](./nix3-show-derivation.md), the command will operate on the [output path]s of the derivation.
|
||||
If you want to refer to an output path of that store derivation, add the output name preceded by a caret (`^`).
|
||||
|
||||
[output path]: ../../glossary.md#gloss-output-path
|
||||
Example: `/nix/store/p7gp6lxdg32h4ka1q398wd9r2zkbbz2v-hello-2.10.drv^out`
|
||||
|
||||
For example, [`nix path-info`](./nix3-path-info.md) prints information about the output paths:
|
||||
All outputs can be referred to at once with the special syntax `^*`.
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
# nix path-info --json /nix/store/p7gp6lxdg32h4ka1q398wd9r2zkbbz2v-hello-2.10.drv
|
||||
[{"path":"/nix/store/v5sv61sszx301i0x6xysaqzla09nksnd-hello-2.10",…}]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to operate on the store derivation itself, pass the `--derivation` flag.
|
||||
Example: `/nix/store/p7gp6lxdg32h4ka1q398wd9r2zkbbz2v-hello-2.10.drv^*`
