+@cindex manifest, exporting
+@anchor{shell-export-manifest}
+@item --export-manifest
+Write to standard output a manifest suitable for @option{--manifest}
+corresponding to given command-line options.
+
+This is a way to ``convert'' command-line arguments into a manifest.
+For example, imagine you are tired of typing long lines and would like
+to get a manifest equivalent to this command line:
+
+@example
+guix shell -D guile git emacs emacs-geiser emacs-geiser-guile
+@end example
+
+Just add @option{--export-manifest} to the command line above:
+
+@example
+guix shell --export-manifest \
+  -D guile git emacs emacs-geiser emacs-geiser-guile
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+... and you get a manifest along these lines:
+
+@lisp
+(concatenate-manifests
+  (list (specifications->manifest
+          (list "git"
+                "emacs"

+                "emacs-geiser-guile"))
+        (package->development-manifest
+          (specification->package "guile"))))
+@end lisp
+
+You can store it into a file, say @file{manifest.scm}, and from there
+pass it to @command{guix shell} or indeed pretty much any @command{guix}
+command:
+
+@example
+guix shell -m manifest.scm
+@end example
+
+Voilà, you've converted a long command line into a manifest!  That
+conversion process honors package transformation options (@pxref{Package
+Transformation Options}) so it should be lossless.
