catonano@xps ~/projects/guix$ cat
/gnu/store/dp8ywhh22n8ixikqdvsb6w6qbn4iw899-environment.drv
catonano@xps ~/projects/guix$

also

catonano@xps ~/projects/guix$ ls -lha
/gnu/store/dp8ywhh22n8ixikqdvsb6w6qbn4iw899-environment.drv
-r--r--r-- 2 root root 0  1 gen  1970
/gnu/store/dp8ywhh22n8ixikqdvsb6w6qbn4iw899-environment.drv
catonano@xps ~/projects/guix$


it's an empty file !

This is without the --share thing
