# Nix(OS)

## List dependencies of package

    nix-store -q --references `which bash`

Instead of <code>\`which bash\`</code> you can also specify a file in a
nix store path (or just the store path) or a link to contents of the store.

### Reverse dependencies

    nix-store -q --referrers `which bash`

Analogue to `apt-cache rdepends`. Like with `--references`, any nix store
reference can be passed.

### Recursive dependencies

    nix-store -qR `which man`

In tree view:

    nix-store -q --tree `which man`

## List all system generations

    sudo nix-env --list-generations --profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/system

## Build package outside of nixpkgs tree

    nix-build -E 'with import <nixpkgs> { }; callPackage ./mypackage.nix { }'
