<listitem><para>If set to <literal>true</literal>, Nix will
“cache” build failures, meaning that it will remember (in its
database) that a derivation previously failed. If you then try to
build the derivation again, Nix will immediately fail rather than
perform the build again. Failures in fixed-output derivations
(such as <function>fetchurl</function> calls) are never cached.
The “failed” status of a derivation can be cleared using
<command>nix-store --clear-failed-paths</command>. By default,
failure caching is disabled.</para></listitem>

<para>If build failure caching is enabled through the
<literal>build-cache-failure</literal> configuration option, the
operation <option>--clear-failed-paths</option> clears the “failed”
state of the given store paths, allowing them to be built again. This
is useful if the failure was actually transient (e.g. because the disk
was full).</para>
<para>If a path denotes a derivation, its output paths are cleared.
You can provide the argument <literal>*</literal> to clear all store
paths.</para>
