### Tips
`nix-build` prints built paths to stdout, which can be piped conveniently
with `| xargs -o nix-tree`. Examples:
```bash
# Output of a local derivation
nix-build . --no-out-link | xargs -o nix-tree
# Build time dependencies (passing a `.drv` path)
nix-instantiate --no-out-link | xargs -o nix-tree
# Dependencies from shell.nix
nix-build shell.nix -A inputDerivation | xargs -o nix-tree
# All outputs of a derivation in nixpkgs:
nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A openssl.all --no-out-link | xargs -o nix-tree
```
