+# NAME
+#   get - evaluate ./default.nix
+#
+# SYNOPSIS
+#   get [-jlprs] [attrPath]
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#   The command nix evaluates the Nix expression in ./default.nix.
+#
+# OPTIONS
+#
+#   -j    Format output as JSON. Implies -s.
+#
+#   -l    List attrNames, one per line.
+#
+#   -p    Pretty-print output. (Only effectiv in conjunction with -j.)
+#
+#   -r    If result looks is a string, then it will be written directly to
+#         standard output rather than being formatted as JSON or Nix string
+#         with quotes. Refs jq(1)'s --raw-output.
+#
+#   -s    Recursively evaluate list elements and attributes.
+#         Refs nix-instantiate(1)'s --strict.
