# Nix
A very nice package management system with some confusing command syntax.
## Investigate a derivation
[nix-diff](https://github.com/Gabriel439/nix-diff) can be used to find why
derivations are different.
```
nix-diff /nix/store/...-a.drv /nix/store/...-b.drv
```
Find the derivation for a given nix store path:
```
nix-store -q --deriver /nix/store/...-name-0.0.0
```
Dump a derivation as JSON:
```
nix show-derivation /nix/store/...-a.drv
```
Find why a derivation has a dependency:
```
nix why-depends -a -f default.nix 'attrnameHere' 'theDepAttrName'
```

# pdf

pdftk {filename.pdf} cat {page ranges} output {output.pdf}

## Get metadata of a pdf
```bash
pdfinfo {filename.pdf}
```
## Concatenate a bunch of pdfs
Note: I think this overwrites the last input file if you forget to specify an output!!
```bash

# SELinux
`ausearch -m avc` to find denials. If there are none, that's probably because some distro maintainer decided that the denial should be silent:
`semodule -DB` turns on `dontaudit` events, `semodule -B` turns them back off.
When trying to get things to work correctly with `audit2allow`, skip the 15 minutes of doing things over and over triggering different denials and running `audit2allow -M mymodule < fails; semodule -i mymodule.pp` by just doing a quick `setenforce 0` before doing it once. All of the actions (AVCs?) in creating a file will show up in the log in one shot. Obviously turn on enforcing mode afterwards.
When in doubt, consult the [colouring book](https://people.redhat.com/duffy/selinux/selinux-coloring-book_A4-Stapled.pdf).
