"""
Work with Nix packages
======================
Does not require the machine to be NixOS, just have Nix installed and available
to use for the user running this command. Their profile must be located in
their home, under ``$HOME/.nix-profile/``, and the nix store, unless specially
set up, should be in ``/nix``. To easily use this with multiple users or a root
user, set up the `nix-daemon`_.
This module exposes most of the common nix operations.
Currently not meant to be run as a ``pkg`` module, but explicitly as ``nix.*``.
For more information on nix, see the `nix documentation`_.
