    Different words similar meaning? --references is NixOS speak for direct package dependencies. --requisites list all. These work with the nix-store command.

    shell
    $ readlink --canonicalize "$(type -P which)"
    /nix/store/r78jv9xgxnvsm5vpasf5ldkc28pkri6r-which-2.21/bin/which
    
    $ nix-store --query --references /nix/store/r78jv9xgxnvsm5vpasf5ldkc28pkri6r-which-2.21
    /nix/store/4nlgxhb09sdr51nc9hdm8az5b08vzkgx-glibc-2.35-163

    which directly depends on glibc. Swap --references to --referrers for paths pointing to which.

    On Guix, list/draw dependencies with guix graph.

    shell
    guix graph --type=references which

    My default nix configuration on NixOS.

    This configuration is more for building/debugging stuff and caching with nix-serve. Usually my package version is locked since different versions of nix can have some effects.

    I’ve had a draft post of Guix notes written up for a while now. Did you know that it’s easy to generate a file system specified from a config.scm? It’s somewhat equivalent to nixos-install, pacstrap and the like.

    shell
    guix system init --no-bootloader config.scm filesystem/

    Why? Commands like this are handy for messing around with chroots, containers, and other related stuff!
