I think you=E2=80=99re looking for =E2=80=98--manifest=E2=80=99 rather than=
 =E2=80=98-f=E2=80=99:

  https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Invoking-guix-package.=
html#profile_002dmanifest

That probably explains why the rest of the documentation you looked at
felt inappropriate.  :-)
