# Description

This command shows what packages are currently installed in a
profile. The output consists of one line per package, with the
following fields:

* An integer that can be used to unambiguously identify the package in
  invocations of `nix profile remove` and `nix profile upgrade`.

* The original ("mutable") flake reference and output attribute path
  used at installation time.

* The immutable flake reference to which the mutable flake reference
  was resolved.

* The store path(s) of the package.
