darwin-rebuild: Incorrect usage description
Hey there, new user of nix-darwin. I like it so far but ran into some trouble using darwin-rebuild.
darwin-rebuild reports the following usage description:
darwin-rebuild [--help] {edit | switch | activate | build | check | changelog}
[--list-generations] [{--profile-name | -p} name] [--rollback]
[{--switch-generation | -G} generation] [--verbose...] [-v...]
[-Q] [{--max-jobs | -j} number] [--cores number] [--dry-run]
[--keep-going] [-k] [--keep-failed] [-K] [--fallback] [--show-trace]
[-I path] [--option name value] [--arg name value] [--argstr name value]
[--flake flake] [--update-input input flake] [--impure] [--recreate-lock-file]
[--no-update-lock-file] [--refresh] ...
The --update-input input flake option as implemented only takes one value however (input) and requires the --flake option to also be passed. The following usage description ([--flake flake [--update-input input]]) would be more correct and less confusing:
darwin-rebuild [--help] {edit | switch | activate | build | check | changelog}
[--list-generations] [{--profile-name | -p} name] [--rollback]
[{--switch-generation | -G} generation] [--verbose...] [-v...]
[-Q] [{--max-jobs | -j} number] [--cores number] [--dry-run]
[--keep-going] [-k] [--keep-failed] [-K] [--fallback] [--show-trace]
[-I path] [--option name value] [--arg name value] [--argstr name value]
[--flake flake [--update-input input]] [--impure] [--recreate-lock-file]
[--no-update-lock-file] [--refresh] ...
I haven't checked whether other options depend on the --flake option.
Could you make a PR for this? I think all the options that appear after --flake are for flakes, I think --update-input input flake should actually be --override-input input flake and --update-input input should be a separate flag
