analyze(1)

🌸 hey bestie, it’s analyze(1) 🌸

so this page is from the General Commands Manual, and it’s here to explain analyze — the little tool that checks out store usage. no cap, it’s giving “look at your nix store with receipts.” 💅

✨ NAME ✨

analyze — analyze store usage 🫶

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

analyze [--no-journal] [-a|--all] [-f|--full-paths] [-d|--dead]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

analyze store usage — that’s the whole assignment, bestie.

it shows the current size and optimization state of the nix store. it also displays the current full closure size of profiles and garbage collection roots, plus the percentage of total store space that those closures are using. iconic little overview behavior. ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --no-journal — don’t analyze the system journal, okay? skip it. 🙈
• -a, --all — show all gc roots and profiles. the whole squad, no filter. 👑
• -f, --full-paths — show the full path for gc roots and profiles. no shortening, full government name energy. 💖
• -d, --dead — print information about dead paths.

⚠️ note: this might slow down the program considerably. like, fr fr, be ready. 😭

• --drv-closures — print more information about the closures of *.drv paths. yes, the .drv girlies get extra detail. 🎀

⚠️ note: this might slow down the program considerably too. not me warning you twice. 💀

• --show <SHOW> [default: 5] — show n gc-roots and profiles. and yes, the default is 5, bestie. 🍓
• -h, --help — print help (see a summary with -h). the classic “help me help you” moment. 🌈

and that’s the whole page, bestie — footer energy is just analyze / analyze(1), no extra source/version/date drama. periodt. 💜
