* Lots of manual stuff. Reference pages for most Nix commands.
* nix-pull now requires the full url to the manifest, i.e., `/MANIFEST/' is no longer automatically appended. * nix-prefetch-url works again.

|
||||
The command <command>nix-pull</command> obtains a list of
|
||||
pre-built store paths from the URL
|
||||
<replaceable>url</replaceable>, and for each of these store
|
||||
paths, registers a substitute derivation that downloads and
|
||||
unpacks it into the Nix store. This is used to speed up
|
||||
installations: if you attempt to install something that has
|
||||
already been built and stored into the network cache, Nix can
|
||||
transparently re-use the pre-built store paths.

The file at <replaceable>url</replaceable> must be compatible
|
||||
with the files created by <replaceable>nix-push</replaceable>.
