# nix profile list
Name: gdb
Flake attribute: legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.gdb
Original flake URL: flake:nixpkgs
Locked flake URL: github:NixOS/nixpkgs/7b38b03d76ab71bdc8dc325e3f6338d984cc35ca
Store paths: /nix/store/indzcw5wvlhx6vwk7k4iq29q15chvr3d-gdb-11.1

Note that you can unambiguously rebuild a package from a profile through its locked flake URL and flake attribute, e.g.
# nix build github:edolstra/nix-warez/91f2ffee657bf834e4475865ae336e2379282d34?dir=blender#packages.x86_64-linux.default

Description
This command shows what packages are currently installed in a profile. For each installed package, it shows the following information:
- Name: A unique name used to unambiguously identify the package in invocations of nix profile remove and nix profile
upgrade.
- Index: An integer that can be used to unambiguously identify the package in invocations of nix profile remove and nix profile upgrade. (Deprecated, will be removed in a future version in favor of Name.)
- Flake attribute: The flake output attribute path that provides the package (e.g. packages.x86_64-linux.hello).
- Original flake URL: The original ("unlocked") flake reference specified by the user when the package was first installed via nix
profile install.
- Locked flake URL: The locked flake reference to which the original flake reference was resolved.
- Store paths: The store path(s) of the package.
