<para>The command <command>nix-unpack-closure</command> unpacks the
|
|
closure of a set of store paths created by
|
|
<command>nix-pack-closure</command> into the local Nix store. The
|
|
closure is a single file read from standard input. See the
|
|
description of <command>nix-pack-closure</command> for details and
|
|
examples.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The top-level paths in the closure (i.e., the paths passed to
|
|
the original <command>nix-pack-closure</command> call that created the
|
|
closure) are printed on standard output. These paths can be passed,
|
|
for instance, to <literal>nix-env -i</literal> to install them into a
|
|
user environment on the target machine.</para>
