# Examples
|
|
|
|
* Show the [store derivation] that results from evaluating the Hello
|
|
package:
|
|
|
|
[store derivation]: ../../glossary.md#gloss-store-derivation
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
# nix show-derivation nixpkgs#hello
|
|
{
|
|
"/nix/store/s6rn4jz1sin56rf4qj5b5v8jxjm32hlk-hello-2.10.drv": {
|
|
…
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Show the full derivation graph (if available) that produced your
|
|
NixOS system:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
# nix show-derivation -r /run/current-system
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Print all files fetched using `fetchurl` by Firefox's dependency
|
|
graph:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
# nix show-derivation -r nixpkgs#firefox \
|
|
| jq -r '.[] | select(.outputs.out.hash and .env.urls) | .env.urls' \
|
|
| uniq | sort
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that `.outputs.out.hash` selects *fixed-output derivations*
|
|
(derivations that produce output with a specified content hash),
|
|
while `.env.urls` selects derivations with a `urls` attribute.
|
|
|
|
# Description
|
|
|
|
This command prints on standard output a JSON representation of the
|
|
[store derivation]s to which *installables* evaluate. Store derivations
|
|
are used internally by Nix. They are store paths with extension `.drv`
|
|
that represent the build-time dependency graph to which a Nix
|
|
expression evaluates.
|
|
|
|
By default, this command only shows top-level derivations, but with
|
|
`--recursive`, it also shows their dependencies.
|
|
|
|
The JSON output is a JSON object whose keys are the store paths of the
|
|
derivations, and whose values are a JSON object with the following
|
|
fields:
|
|
|
|
* `outputs`: Information about the output paths of the
|
|
derivation. This is a JSON object with one member per output, where
|
|
the key is the output name and the value is a JSON object with these
|
|
fields:
|
|
|
|
* `path`: The output path.
|
|
* `hashAlgo`: For fixed-output derivations, the hashing algorithm
|
|
(e.g. `sha256`), optionally prefixed by `r:` if `hash` denotes a
|
|
NAR hash rather than a flat file hash.
|
|
* `hash`: For fixed-output derivations, the expected content hash in
|
|
base-16.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
"outputs": {
|
|
"out": {
|
|
"path": "/nix/store/2543j7c6jn75blc3drf4g5vhb1rhdq29-source",
|
|
"hashAlgo": "r:sha256",
|
|
"hash": "6fc80dcc62179dbc12fc0b5881275898f93444833d21b89dfe5f7fbcbb1d0d62"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* `inputSrcs`: A list of store paths on which this derivation depends.
|
|
|
|
* `inputDrvs`: A JSON object specifying the derivations on which this
|
|
derivation depends, and what outputs of those derivations. For
|
|
example,
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
"inputDrvs": {
|
|
"/nix/store/6lkh5yi7nlb7l6dr8fljlli5zfd9hq58-curl-7.73.0.drv": ["dev"],
|
|
"/nix/store/fn3kgnfzl5dzym26j8g907gq3kbm8bfh-unzip-6.0.drv": ["out"]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
specifies that this derivation depends on the `dev` output of
|
|
`curl`, and the `out` output of `unzip`.
|
|
|
|
* `system`: The system type on which this derivation is to be built
|
|
(e.g. `x86_64-linux`).
|
|
|
|
* `builder`: The absolute path of the program to be executed to run
|
|
the build. Typically this is the `bash` shell
|
|
(e.g. `/nix/store/r3j288vpmczbl500w6zz89gyfa4nr0b1-bash-4.4-p23/bin/bash`).
|
|
|
|
* `args`: The command-line arguments passed to the `builder`.
|
|
|
|
* `env`: The environment passed to the `builder`.
