display documentation on manifest files separately
it's probably better not to show the manifest file documentation in the command-specific pages, because these are implementation details that are not really practically useful. this means no additional hassle for building the manual, but clutters the table of contents a bit.

## `manifest.json`
|
||||
|
||||
The manifest file records the provenance of the packages that are installed in a [profile](./profiles.md) managed by [`nix profile`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-profile.md) (experimental).
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example of what the file might look like after installing `zoom-us` from Nixpkgs:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"version": 1,
|
||||
"elements": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"active": true,
|
||||
"attrPath": "legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.zoom-us",
|
||||
"originalUrl": "flake:nixpkgs",
|
||||
"storePaths": [
|
||||
"/nix/store/wbhg2ga8f3h87s9h5k0slxk0m81m4cxl-zoom-us-5.3.469451.0927"
|
||||
],
|
||||
"uri": "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/13d0c311e3ae923a00f734b43fd1d35b47d8943a"
|
||||
},
|
||||
…
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each object in the array `elements` denotes an installed package and
|
||||
has the following fields:
|
||||
|
||||
* `originalUrl`: The [flake reference](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake.md) specified by
|
||||
the user at the time of installation (e.g. `nixpkgs`). This is also
|
||||
the flake reference that will be used by `nix profile upgrade`.
|
||||
|
||||
* `uri`: The locked flake reference to which `originalUrl` resolved.
|
||||
|
||||
* `attrPath`: The flake output attribute that provided this
|
||||
package. Note that this is not necessarily the attribute that the
|
||||
user specified, but the one resulting from applying the default
|
||||
attribute paths and prefixes; for instance, `hello` might resolve to
|
||||
`packages.x86_64-linux.hello` and the empty string to
|
||||
`packages.x86_64-linux.default`.
|
||||
|
||||
* `storePath`: The paths in the Nix store containing the package.
|
||||
|
||||
* `active`: Whether the profile contains symlinks to the files of this
|
||||
package. If set to false, the package is kept in the Nix store, but
|
||||
is not "visible" in the profile's symlink tree.

## Profiles
|
||||
|
||||
A directory that contains links to profiles managed by [`nix-env`] and [`nix profile`]:
|
||||
|
||||
- `$XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profiles` for regular users
|
||||
- `$NIX_STATE_DIR/profiles/per-user/root` if the user is `root`
|
||||
|
||||
A profile is a directory of symlinks to files in the Nix store.
|
||||
|
||||
### Filesystem layout
|
||||
|
||||
Profiles are versioned as follows. When using a profile named *path*, *path* is a symlink to *path*`-`*N*`-link`, where *N* is the version of the profile.
|
||||
In turn, *path*`-`*N*`-link` is a symlink to a path in the Nix store.
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ ls -l ~alice/.local/state/nix/profiles/profile*
|
||||
lrwxrwxrwx 1 alice users 14 Nov 25 14:35 /home/alice/.local/state/nix/profiles/profile -> profile-7-link
|
||||
lrwxrwxrwx 1 alice users 51 Oct 28 16:18 /home/alice/.local/state/nix/profiles/profile-5-link -> /nix/store/q69xad13ghpf7ir87h0b2gd28lafjj1j-profile
|
||||
lrwxrwxrwx 1 alice users 51 Oct 29 13:20 /home/alice/.local/state/nix/profiles/profile-6-link -> /nix/store/6bvhpysd7vwz7k3b0pndn7ifi5xr32dg-profile
|
||||
lrwxrwxrwx 1 alice users 51 Nov 25 14:35 /home/alice/.local/state/nix/profiles/profile-7-link -> /nix/store/mp0x6xnsg0b8qhswy6riqvimai4gm677-profile
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each of these symlinks is a root for the Nix garbage collector.
|
||||
|
||||
The contents of the store path corresponding to each version of the
|
||||
profile is a tree of symlinks to the files of the installed packages,
|
||||
e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The `PATH` environment variable should include `/bin` subdirectory of the profile link (e.g. `~/.nix-profile/bin`) for the user environment to be visible to the user.

## User profile link
|
||||
|
||||
A symbolic link to the user's current profile:
|
||||
|
||||
- `~/.nix-profile`
|
||||
- `$XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profile` if [`use-xdg-base-directories`] is set to `true`.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, this symlink points to:
|
||||
|
||||
- `$XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profiles/profile` for regular users
|
||||
- `$NIX_STATE_DIR/profiles/per-user/root/profile` for `root`
|
||||
|
||||
The `PATH` environment variable should include `/bin` subdirectory of the profile link (e.g. `~/.nix-profile/bin`) for the user environment to be visible to the user.
|
||||
The [installer](@docroot@/installation/installing-binary.md) sets this up by default, unless you enable [`use-xdg-base-directories`].
|
||||
|
||||
[`nix-env`]: @docroot@/command-ref/nix-env.md
|
||||
[`nix profile`]: @docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-profile.md
|
||||
[`use-xdg-base-directories`]: @docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-use-xdg-base-directories
|
||||
|
||||
## Manifest
|
||||
|
||||
The manifest file records the provenance of the packages that are installed in this version of the profile.
|
||||
It is different between [`nix-env`] and [`nix profile`].
|
||||
|
||||
### `manifest.nix`
|
||||
|
||||
Used by [`nix-env`]. Here is an example of how this file might look like after installing `hello` from Nixpkgs:
|
||||

||||

|

Each element in this list corresponds to an installed package.
|
||||
It incorporates some attributes of the original package derivation, including `meta`, `name`, `out`, `outPath`, `outputs`, `system`.
|
||||
This information is used by Nix for querying and updating the package.
|
||||
|
||||
### `manifest.json`
|
||||
|
||||
Used by [`nix profile`]. Here is an example of what the file might look like after installing `zoom-us` from Nixpkgs:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"version": 1,
|
||||
"elements": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"active": true,
|
||||
"attrPath": "legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.zoom-us",
|
||||
"originalUrl": "flake:nixpkgs",
|
||||
"storePaths": [
|
||||
"/nix/store/wbhg2ga8f3h87s9h5k0slxk0m81m4cxl-zoom-us-5.3.469451.0927"
|
||||
],
|
||||
"uri": "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/13d0c311e3ae923a00f734b43fd1d35b47d8943a"
|
||||
},
|
||||
…
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each object in the array `elements` denotes an installed package and
|
||||
has the following fields:
|
||||
|
||||
* `originalUrl`: The [flake reference](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake.md) specified by
|
||||
the user at the time of installation (e.g. `nixpkgs`). This is also
|
||||
the flake reference that will be used by `nix profile upgrade`.
|
||||
|
||||
* `uri`: The locked flake reference to which `originalUrl` resolved.
|
||||
|
||||
* `attrPath`: The flake output attribute that provided this
|
||||
package. Note that this is not necessarily the attribute that the
|
||||
user specified, but the one resulting from applying the default
|
||||
attribute paths and prefixes; for instance, `hello` might resolve to
|
||||
`packages.x86_64-linux.hello` and the empty string to
|
||||
`packages.x86_64-linux.default`.
|
||||
|
||||
* `storePath`: The paths in the Nix store containing the package.
|
||||
|
||||
* `active`: Whether the profile contains symlinks to the files of this
|
||||
package. If set to false, the package is kept in the Nix store, but
|
||||
is not "visible" in the profile's symlink tree.
