nix-module-options

You can query NixOS module options offline by evaluating flakes directly. This approach uses currentSystem data and pre-evaluated pkgs to return structured option metadata without external documentation lookups.

Yes, you can check for option existence in Home Manager programmatically. Using flake evaluation, the system verifies if a specific module option path exists upstream and returns the validation result.

To list available options for a NixOS module category, you use flake evaluation to enumerate them. The process targets upstream-pure modules and returns structured metadata including option paths, types, and defaults via optionAttrSetToDocList.

No, querying NixOS options this way does not include custom module configurations. It strictly targets upstream-pure modules, evaluating only the official NixOS and Home Manager repositories to ensure standard documentation retrieval.

Fetching documentation for a Nix flake option returns structured metadata including the option path, type, description, default value, and examples. This data is extracted upstream using optionAttrSetToDocList for immediate interpretation.

Using pre-evaluated pkgs when inspecting Home Manager module options ensures system-agnostic portability and faster evaluation. It allows the offline query process to bypass redundant package builds and directly return option metadata.
