It is helpful for understanding how your configuration is working. Options: -i | --install Use the configuration on ${mountPoint:+$mountPoint/}$NIXOS_CONFIG instead of the current system configuration. Generate a template configuration if no option name is specified. -v | --value Display the current value, based on your configuration. -d | --description Display the default value, the example and the description. -l | --lookup Display where the option is defined and where it is declared. --xml Print an XML representation of the result. Implies -vdl options. --help Show this message. Environment variables affecting $0: \$mountPoint Path to the target file system. \$NIXOS_CONFIG Path to your configuration file.
