Increases the level of verbosity of diagnostic messages printed
|
|
on standard error. For each Nix operation, the information
|
|
printed on standard output is well-defined; any diagnostic
|
|
information is printed on standard error, never on standard
|
|
output.

Causes the output written by build actions to standard output
|
|
and standard error to be echoed to standard error, regardless of
|
|
verbosity level. By default, it is only echoed at a verbosity
|
|
level of at least 4 (<quote>Debug</quote>), and is suppressed at
|
|
lower levels. Note that it is always written to a log file in
|
|
<filename><replaceable>prefix</replaceable>/nix/var/log/nix</filename>.
