\fCnix store repair\fR [\fIoption\fR\[u2026]] \fIinstallables\fR\[u2026]
.SH Examples
.IP "\(bu" 2
Repair a store path, after determining that it is corrupt:

# nix store verify /nix/store/yb5q57zxv6hgqql42d5r8b5k5mcq6kay-hello-2.10

.SH Description
This command attempts to \[u201C]repair\[u201D] the store paths specified by
\fIinstallables\fR by redownloading them using the available
substituters. If no substitutes are available, then repair is not
possible.

\fBWarning\fR
.PP
During repair, there is a very small time window during which the old
path (if it exists) is moved out of the way and replaced with the new
path. If repair is interrupted in between, then the system may be left
in a broken state (e.g., if the path contains a critical system
component like the GNU C Library).

.SH Options
\fBCommon evaluation options:\fR
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fC--arg\fR \fIname\fR \fIexpr\fR
.br
Pass the value \fIexpr\fR as the argument \fIname\fR to Nix functions.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fC--argstr\fR \fIname\fR \fIstring\fR
.br
Pass the string \fIstring\fR as the argument \fIname\fR to Nix functions.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fC--eval-store\fR \fIstore-url\fR
.br
The Nix store to use for evaluations.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fC--impure\fR
.br
Allow access to mutable paths and repositories.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fC--include\fR / \fC-I\fR \fIpath\fR
.br
Add \fIpath\fR to the list of locations used to look up \fC<...>\fR file names.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fC--override-flake\fR \fIoriginal-ref\fR \fIresolved-ref\fR
.br
Override the flake registries, redirecting \fIoriginal-ref\fR to \fIresolved-ref\fR.
.LP
\fBCommon flake-related options:\fR
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fC--commit-lock-file\fR
.br
Commit changes to the flake\[u2019]s lock file.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fC--inputs-from\fR \fIflake-url\fR
.br
Use the inputs of the specified flake as registry entries.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fC--no-registries\fR
.br
Don\[u2019]t allow lookups in the flake registries. This option is deprecated; use \fC--no-use-registries\fR.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fC--no-update-lock-file\fR
.br
Do not allow any updates to the flake\[u2019]s lock file.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fC--no-write-lock-file\fR
.br
Do not write the flake\[u2019]s newly generated lock file.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fC--override-input\fR \fIinput-path\fR \fIflake-url\fR
.br
Override a specific flake input (e.g. \fCdwarffs/nixpkgs\fR). This implies \fC--no-write-lock-file\fR.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fC--recreate-lock-file\fR
.br
Recreate the flake\[u2019]s lock file from scratch.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fC--update-input\fR \fIinput-path\fR
.br
Update a specific flake input (ignoring its previous entry in the lock file).
.LP
\fBOptions that change the interpretation of installables:\fR
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fC--all\fR
.br
Apply the operation to every store path.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fC--derivation\fR
.br
Operate on the store derivation rather than its outputs.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fC--expr\fR \fIexpr\fR
.br
Interpret installables as attribute paths relative to the Nix expression \fIexpr\fR.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fC--file\fR / \fC-f\fR \fIfile\fR
.br
Interpret installables as attribute paths relative to the Nix expression stored in \fIfile\fR. If \fIfile\fR is the character -, then a Nix expression will be read from standard input.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fC--recursive\fR / \fC-r\fR
.br
Apply operation to closure of the specified paths.
