Return a derivation that builds a profile (aka. 'user environment') with the given MANIFEST. The profile includes additional derivations returned by the monadic procedures listed in HOOKS--such as an Info 'dir' file, etc. Unless ALLOW-COLLISIONS? is true, a '&profile-collision-error' is raised if entries in MANIFEST collide (for instance if there are two same-name packages with a different version number.) Unless ALLOW-UNSUPPORTED-PACKAGES? is true or TARGET is set, raise an error if MANIFEST contains a package that does not support SYSTEM.

When LOCALES? is true, the build is performed under a UTF-8 locale.

When RELATIVE-SYMLINKS? is true, use relative file names for symlink targets. This is one of the things to do for the result to be relocatable.

When TARGET is true, it must be a GNU triplet, and the packages in MANIFEST are cross-built for TARGET.

Augment TRANSACTION's set of installed packages with ENTRY, a <manifest-entry>.

If PROFILE points to a profile in %PROFILE-DIRECTORY, return that. Otherwise return PROFILE unchanged. The goal is to treat '-p ~/.guix-profile' as if '-p' was omitted.

Return the list of search path specifications that apply to MANIFEST, including the search path specification for $PATH.

Atomically switch PROFILE to the generation NUMBER. Return the number of the generation that was current before switching.

Return a manifest for the "development inputs" of PACKAGE for SYSTEM, optionally when cross-compiling to TARGET. Development inputs include both explicit and implicit inputs of PACKAGE.

Lower ENTRY for SYSTEM and TARGET such that its 'item' field is a store file name.

Return the sorted list of generation numbers of PROFILE, or '(0) if no former profiles were found.

Return a list of PROFILE's generations.

Add a list of manifest ENTRIES to MANIFEST and return new manifest. Remove MANIFEST entries that have the same name and output as ENTRIES.
