Name
       nix store optimise - replace identical files in the store by hard links

Synopsis
       nix store optimise [option<?>]

Examples
       o  Optimise the Nix store:

       nix store optimise

Description
       This command deduplicates the Nix store: it scans the store for regular
       files with identical contents, and replaces them with hard links to a
       single instance.

       Note that you can also set auto-optimise-store to true in nix.conf to
       perform this optimisation incrementally whenever a new path is added to
       the Nix store. To make this efficient, Nix maintains a content-
       addressed index of all the files in the Nix store in the directory
       /nix/store/.links/.

Options
   Logging-related options
       o  --debug

          Set the logging verbosity level to `debug'.

       o  --log-format format

          Set the format of log output; one of raw, internal-json, bar or
          bar-with-logs.

       o  --print-build-logs / -L

          Print full build logs on standard error.

       o  --quiet

          Decrease the logging verbosity level.

       o  --verbose / -v

          Increase the logging verbosity level.

   Miscellaneous global options
       o  --help

          Show usage information.

       o  --offline

          Disable substituters and consider all previously downloaded files
          up-to-date.

       o  --option name value

          Set the Nix configuration setting name to value (overriding
          nix.conf).

       o  --refresh

          Consider all previously downloaded files out-of-date.

       o  --version

          Show version information.

          Note

          line flags.
