+;;; Commentary:
+;;;
+;;; This module provides supporting code to allow a Guix instance to find, at
+;;; run time, which profile it's in (profiles created by 'guix pull'). That
+;;; allows it to read meta-information about itself (e.g., repository URL and
+;;; commit ID) and to find other channels available in the same profile. It's
+;;; a bit like ELPA's pkg-info.el.
+;;;
