2016-02-25 nix: Add commands to query contents of NARs / binary cachesEelco Dolstra1-0/+74
For example, $ NIX_REMOTE=file:///my-cache nix ls-store -lR /nix/store/f4kbgl8shhyy76rkk3nbxr0lz8d2ip7q-binutils-2.23.1 dr-xr-xr-x 0 ./bin -r-xr-xr-x 30748 ./bin/addr2line -r-xr-xr-x 66973 ./bin/ar ... Similarly, "nix ls-nar" lists the contents of a NAR file, "nix cat-nar" extracts a file from a NAR file, and "nix cat-store" extract a file from a Nix store.
