Message definition (Nix (package manager))

In order to construct a coherent user or system environment, Nix symlinks entries of the Nix store into ''profiles''. These are the front-end by which Nix allows rollbacks: since the store is immutable and previous versions of profiles are kept, reverting to an earlier state is simply a matter of change the symlink to a previous profile. To be more precise, Nix symlinks binaries into entries of the Nix store representing the user environments. These user environments are then symlinked into labeled profiles stored in <code>/nix/var/nix/profiles</code>, which are in turn symlinked to the user's <code>~/.nix-profile</code>.
