What is GUIX_PROFILE is for?


First question:

If I log into a GuixSD vm-image w/ 1 package installed ...

nemo:~ $ ssh g1@sysi34.local
Last login: Fri Jun 22 08:24:11 2018 from fe80::1c82:5c21:6372:5970%eth0
g1@sysi34 ~$ guix package -I
znc       1.7.0   out
/gnu/store/giv77vd376nkwpgl08fjfkq87b9mm8xj-znc-1.7.0

... GUIX_PROFILE is not in env ...

env | grep GUIX GUIX_LOCPATH=/run/current-system/locale

... but echo reports it ...

g1@sysi34 ~$ echo $GUIX_PROFILE
/home/g1/.guix-profile

That seems odd to me. What does it mean?


Second question:

If I set GUIX_PROFILE to something else, does it have any effect on what
Guix does for me?

TIA - George
