When running nixos-rebuild -I, the man page just said "-I path" which could be interpreted as "just a path to nixpkgs", which in fact it actually has the same meaning as NIX_PATH. This is now made clear in the manual, so that when grepping "-I" and "NIX_PATH" one quickly finds the format of the option. I don't know how to link to the "nix manual" as stated in the docbook, so I left that as it is. Additionally, it wasn't clear to me how to actually build the man pages and view the changes I made. That's now in the contributing-to-this-manual.chapter.md. |
