Usage: nix-worker [OPTIONS...] [--daemon | --slave]
|
||
|
|
||
|
`nix-worker' is a helper program used to implement secure, multi-user
|
||
|
Nix stores. In `--daemon' mode, it goes into the background and waits
|
||
|
for incoming connections on a Unix domain socket, and forks a process
|
||
|
for each connection to perform the Nix store operations requested by
|
||
|
the caller. In `--slave' mode, `nix-worker' is called directly, and
|
||
|
the caller and the worker communicate with each other over
|
||
|
stdin/stdout. In this mode, the `nix-worker' program should have
|
||
|
appropriate setuid privileges.
