#! @shell@ -e

showSyntax() {
    # !!! more or less cut&paste from
    # system/switch-to-configuration.sh (which we call, of course).
    cat <<EOF
Usage: $0 [OPTIONS...] OPERATION

The operation is one of the following:

  switch:   make the configuration the boot default and activate now
  boot:     make the configuration the boot default
  test:     activate the configuration, but don't make it the boot default
  build:    build the configuration, but don't make it the default or
            activate it
  build-vm: build a virtual machine containing the configuration
            (useful for testing)
  build-vm-with-bootloader:
            like build-vm, but include a boot loader in the VM
  dry-run:  just show what store paths would be built/downloaded
  pull:     just pull the NixOS channel manifest and exit

Options:

  --upgrade              fetch the latest version of NixOS before rebuilding
  --install-grub         (re-)install the Grub bootloader
  --pull                 do a nix-pull to get the latest NixOS channel
                         manifest
  --no-build-nix         don't build the latest Nix from Nixpkgs before
                         building NixOS
  --rollback             restore the previous NixOS configuration (only
                         with switch, boot, test, build)

  --fast                 same as --no-build-nix --show-trace

Various nix-build options are also accepted, in particular:

  --show-trace           show a detailed stack trace for evaluation errors
 
Environment variables affecting nixos-rebuild:

  \$NIX_PATH              Nix expression search path 
  \$NIXOS_CONFIG          path to the NixOS system configuration specification
