-
-<para>The command <command>nix-pull</command> obtains a list of
-pre-built store paths from the URL <replaceable>url</replaceable>, and
-for each of these store paths, registers a substitute derivation that
-downloads and unpacks it into the Nix store.  This is used to speed up
-installations: if you attempt to install something that has already
-been built and stored into the network cache, Nix can transparently
-re-use the pre-built store paths.</para>
-
-<para>The file at <replaceable>url</replaceable> must be compatible
-with the files created by <replaceable>nix-push</replaceable>.</para>
