Rename doc/manual{src -> source}
This is needed to avoid this https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/13774 when we go back to making our subproject directory `src`.

# Options
|
||||
|
||||
The following options are allowed for all `nix-store` operations, but may not always have an effect.
|
||||
|
||||
- <span id="opt-add-root">[`--add-root`](#opt-add-root)</span> *path*
|
||||
|
||||
Causes the result of a realisation (`--realise` and
|
||||
`--force-realise`) to be registered as a root of the garbage
|
||||
collector. *path* will be created as a symlink to the resulting
|
||||
store path. In addition, a uniquely named symlink to *path* will
|
||||
be created in `/nix/var/nix/gcroots/auto/`. For instance,
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ nix-store --add-root /home/eelco/bla/result --realise ...
|
||||
|
||||
$ ls -l /nix/var/nix/gcroots/auto
|
||||
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ... 2005-03-13 21:10 dn54lcypm8f8... -> /home/eelco/bla/result
|
||||
|
||||
$ ls -l /home/eelco/bla/result
|
||||
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ... 2005-03-13 21:10 /home/eelco/bla/result -> /nix/store/1r11343n6qd4...-f-spot-0.0.10
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Thus, when `/home/eelco/bla/result` is removed, the GC root in the
|
||||
`auto` directory becomes a dangling symlink and will be ignored by
|
||||
the collector.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Warning**
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Note that it is not possible to move or rename GC roots, since
|
||||
> the symlink in the `auto` directory will still point to the old
|
||||
> location.
|
||||
|
||||
If there are multiple results, then multiple symlinks will be
|
||||
created by sequentially numbering symlinks beyond the first one
|
||||
(e.g., `foo`, `foo-2`, `foo-3`, and so on).
