Where is -I documented?

Development Documentation
1

I tried to find the meaning of nix-build ... -I .... and didn’t find the -I option in the man page and anywhere else.

I thought the man pages are basically auto generated.

Are there efforts to fix such cli documentation issues?

It’s documented in the “common options”: Common Options

I have no idea where this maps to in the man docs, but having common options documented elsewhere is a pretty common thing. This will probably be less hard to find with the v3 docs, since the nix docs will hold the generic stuff.
