/* Nix syntax:

   nix [OPTIONS...] [ARGUMENTS...]

   Operations:

     --evaluate / -e: evaluate values
     --delete / -d: delete values
     --query / -q: query stored values
     --add: add values
     --verify: verify Nix structures
     --dump: dump a value
     --init: initialise the Nix database
     --version: output version information
     --help: display help

   Operations that work on values accept the hash code of a value, the
   symbolic name of a value, or a file name of a external value that
   will be added prior to the operation.

   Query suboptions:

     Selection:

     --all / -a: query all stored values, otherwise given values

     Information:

     --info / -i: general value information

   Options:

     --verbose / -v: verbose operation
