nixpkgs/modules/installer/tools/nixos-rebuild.sh
Eelco Dolstra f1dde44ac1 * Added an action `nixos-rebuild pull' to just pull the Nixpkgs
channel manifest and exit.  Useful if you don't want to use
  nix-channel.

Usage: $0 [OPTIONS...] OPERATION
The operation is one of the following:
switch: make the configuration the boot default and activate now
boot: make the configuration the boot default
test: activate the configuration, but don't make it the boot default
build: build the configuration, but don't make it the default or
activate it
build-vm: build a virtual machine containing the configuration
(useful for testing)
dry-run: just show what store paths would be built/downloaded
pull: just pull the Nixpkgs channel manifest and exit
Options:
--install-grub (re-)install the Grub bootloader
--no-pull don't do a nix-pull to get the latest Nixpkgs
channel manifest
--no-build-nix don't build the latest Nix from Nixpkgs before
building NixOS
--rollback restore the previous NixOS configuration (only
with switch, boot, test, build)
--fast same as --no-pull --no-build-nix --show-trace
Various nix-build options are also accepted, in particular:
--show-trace show a detailed stack trace for evaluation errors
Environment variables affecting nixos-rebuild:
\$NIXOS path to the NixOS source tree
\$NIXPKGS path to the Nixpkgs source tree
\$NIXOS_CONFIG path to the NixOS system configuration specification
