Name

       nix derivation add - Add a store derivation

Synopsis

       nix derivation add [option…]

Description

       This command reads from standard input a JSON representation of a store derivation.

       Store derivations are used internally by Nix. They are store paths with extension .drv that represent the
       build-time dependency graph to which a Nix expression evaluates.

       nix derivation add takes a single derivation in the following format:

       {{#include ../../protocols/json/derivation.md}}
