Talk:Nix (command)/show-derivation

The first example doesn't work

$ nix show-derivation 'nixpkgs#hello'
error: don't know what to do with argument 'nixpkgs#hello'
Try 'nix --help' for more information.

I've fixed this. I believe it should be:

$ nix show-derivation 'nixpkgs.hello'

This works for me whereas using '#' produced the same error L0b0 reported.
