Run `nixos-rebuild` immediately without building the system in a dedicated `nix
build` step.
+### `flake` (optional)
+
+Name of the source containing the flake to deploy, optionally followed by `#`
+and the name of the NixOS configuration, e.g. `"myconf#myhost"`. If the source
+draws inputs from other sources, its generated flake gets deployed, see
+[Flake inputs from sources](#flake-inputs-from-sources). This makes
+`nixos-rebuild` use `--flake`, and requires Nix with flake support (Nix 2.4 or
+later) on the build target. Without the name of the NixOS configuration,
+`nixos-rebuild` uses the host name of the build target.

### `force` (optional, defaults to false)
Create the sentinel file (`/var/src/.populate`) before syncing the new source.
