-

-<varlistentry xml:id="env-NIX_PATH"><term><envar>NIX_PATH</envar></term>
-
-  <listitem>
-
-    <para>A colon-separated list of directories used to look up Nix
-    expressions enclosed in angle brackets (i.e.,
-    <literal>&lt;<replaceable>path</replaceable>></literal>).  For
-    instance, the value
-
-    <screen>
-/home/eelco/Dev:/etc/nixos</screen>
-
-    will cause Nix to look for paths relative to
-    <filename>/home/eelco/Dev</filename> and
-    <filename>/etc/nixos</filename>, in that order.  It is also
-    possible to match paths against a prefix.  For example, the value
-
-    <screen>
-nixpkgs=/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs-branch:/etc/nixos</screen>
-
-    will cause Nix to search for
-    <literal>&lt;nixpkgs/<replaceable>path</replaceable>></literal> in
-    <filename>/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs-branch/<replaceable>path</replaceable></filename>
-    and
-    <filename>/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/<replaceable>path</replaceable></filename>.</para>
-
-    <para>If a path in the Nix search path starts with
-    <literal>http://</literal> or <literal>https://</literal>, it is
-    interpreted as the URL of a tarball that will be downloaded and
-    unpacked to a temporary location. The tarball must consist of a
-    single top-level directory. For example, setting
-    <envar>NIX_PATH</envar> to
-
-    <screen>
-nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-15.09.tar.gz</screen>
-
-    tells Nix to download the latest revision in the Nixpkgs/NixOS
-    15.09 channel.</para>
-
-    <para>A following shorthand can be used to refer to the official channels:
-    
-    <screen>nixpkgs=channel:nixos-15.09</screen>
-    </para>
-
-    <para>The search path can be extended using the <option
-    linkend="opt-I">-I</option> option, which takes precedence over
-    <envar>NIX_PATH</envar>.</para></listitem>

-<varlistentry><term><envar>NIX_IGNORE_SYMLINK_STORE</envar></term>
-
-  <listitem>
-
-  <para>Normally, the Nix store directory (typically
-  <filename>/nix/store</filename>) is not allowed to contain any
-  symlink components.  This is to prevent “impure” builds.  Builders
-  sometimes “canonicalise” paths by resolving all symlink components.
-  Thus, builds on different machines (with
-  <filename>/nix/store</filename> resolving to different locations)
-  could yield different results.  This is generally not a problem,
-  except when builds are deployed to machines where
-  <filename>/nix/store</filename> resolves differently.  If you are
-  sure that you’re not going to do that, you can set
-  <envar>NIX_IGNORE_SYMLINK_STORE</envar> to <envar>1</envar>.</para>
-
-  <para>Note that if you’re symlinking the Nix store so that you can
-  put it on another file system than the root file system, on Linux
-  you’re better off using <literal>bind</literal> mount points, e.g.,
-
-  <screen>
-$ mkdir /nix
-$ mount -o bind /mnt/otherdisk/nix /nix</screen>
-
-  Consult the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle>
-  <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> manual page for details.</para>
