-Usage: nix-store [OPTIONS...] [ARGUMENTS...]
-
-`nix-store' is a tool to manipulate the Nix store.
-
-Operations:
-
-  --realise / -r: ensure path validity; if a derivation, ensure the
-      validity of the outputs
-  --add / -A: copy a path to the Nix store
-  --delete: safely delete paths from the Nix store
-  --query / -q: query information
-  --read-log / -l: print build log of given store paths
-
-  --register-validity: register path validity (dangerous!)
-  --check-validity: check path validity
-
-  --gc: run the garbage collector
-
-  --dump: dump a path as a Nix archive (NAR), forgetting dependencies
-  --restore: restore a path from a Nix archive, without
-      registering validity
-
-  --export: export a path as a Nix archive, marking dependencies
-  --import: import a path from a Nix archive, and register as 
-      valid
-
-  --verify: verify Nix structures
-  --verify-path: verify whether the given store paths haven't been modified
-  --optimise: optimise the Nix store by hard-linking identical files
-
-  --query-failed-paths: list paths that failed to build (if enabled)
-  --clear-failed-paths: clear the failed status of the given paths
-
-  --version: output version information
-  --help: display help
-
-Query flags:
-
-  --outputs: query the output paths of a Nix derivation (default)
-  --requisites / -R: print all paths necessary to realise the path
-  --references: print all paths referenced by the path
-  --referrers: print all paths directly refering to the path
-  --referrers-closure: print all paths (in)directly refering to the path
-  --tree: print a tree showing the dependency graph of the path
-  --graph: print a dot graph rooted at given path
-  --xml: emit an XML representation of the graph rooted at the given path
-  --hash: print the SHA-256 hash of the contents of the path
-  --size: print the size of the NAR dump of the path
-  --roots: print the garbage collector roots that point to the path
-
-Query switches (not applicable to all queries):
-
-  --use-output: perform query on output of derivation, not derivation itself
-  --force-realise: realise the path before performing the query
-  --include-outputs: in `-R' on a derivation, include requisites of outputs
-
-Garbage collector options:
-
-  --print-roots: print GC roots and exit
-  --print-live: print live paths and exit
-  --print-dead: print dead paths and exit
-  --delete: delete dead paths (default)
-    
-Options:
-
-  --verbose / -v: verbose operation (may be repeated)
-  --keep-failed / -K: keep temporary directories of failed builds
-  --keep-going / -k: build as many dependencies as possible, even if
-      some dependencies fail to build
-
-  --add-root: add garbage collector roots for the result
