In addition: - Take the opportunity to add a bunch more missing hyperlinks, too. - Remove some glossary entries that are now subsumed by dedicated pages. We used to not be able to do this without breaking link fragments, but now we can, so pick up where we left off. Co-authored-by: Robert Hensing <roberth@users.noreply.github.com>

Name
nix-store --export - export store paths to a Nix Archive
Synopsis
nix-store --export paths…
Description
The operation --export writes a serialisation of the specified store
paths to standard output in a format that can be imported into another
Nix store with nix-store --import. This is like nix-store --dump, except that the Nix Archive (NAR) produced by that command doesn’t
contain the necessary meta-information to allow it to be imported into
another Nix store (namely, the set of references of the path).
This command does not produce a closure of the specified paths, so if a store path references other store paths that are missing in the target Nix store, the import will fail.

{{#include ../opt-common.md}}
{{#include ../env-common.md}}
Examples
To copy a whole closure, do something like:
$ nix-store --export $(nix-store --query --requisites paths) > out
To import the whole closure again, run:
$ nix-store --import < out
