+@section Invoking @command{guix size}
+
+The @command{guix size} command helps package developers profile the
+disk usage of packages.  It is easy to overlook the impact of an
+additional dependency added to a package, or the impact of using a
+single output for a package that could easily be split (@pxref{Packages
+with Multiple Outputs}).  These are the typical issues that
+@command{guix size} can highlight.
+
+The command can be passed a package specification such as @code{gcc-4.8}
+or @code{guile:debug}, or a file name in the store.  Consider this
+example:
+
+@example
+$ guix size coreutils
+store item                               total    self
+/gnu/store/@dots{}-coreutils-8.23          70.0    13.9  19.8%
+/gnu/store/@dots{}-gmp-6.0.0a              55.3     2.5   3.6%
+/gnu/store/@dots{}-acl-2.2.52              53.7     0.5   0.7%
+/gnu/store/@dots{}-attr-2.4.46             53.2     0.3   0.5%
+/gnu/store/@dots{}-gcc-4.8.4-lib           52.9    15.7  22.4%
+/gnu/store/@dots{}-glibc-2.21              37.2    37.2  53.1%
+@end example
+
+@cindex closure
+The store items listed here constitute the @dfn{transitive closure} of
+Coreutils---i.e., Coreutils and all its dependencies, recursively---as
+would be returned by:
+
+@example
+$ guix gc -R /gnu/store/@dots{}-coreutils-8.23
+@end example
+
+Here the output shows 3 columns next to store items.  The first column,
+labeled ``total'', shows the size in mebibytes (MiB) of the closure of
+the store item---that is, its own size plus the size of all its
+dependencies.  The next column, labeled ``self'', shows the size of the
+item itself.  The last column shows the ratio of the item's size to the
+space occupied by all the items listed here.
+
+In this example, we see that the closure of Coreutils weighs in at
+70@tie{}MiB, half of which is taken by libc.  (That libc represents a
+large fraction of the closure is not a problem @i{per se} because it is
+always available on the system anyway.)
+
+When the package passed to @command{guix size} is available in the
+store, @command{guix size} queries the daemon to determine its
+dependencies, and measures its size in the store, similar to @command{du
+-ms --apparent-size} (@pxref{du invocation,,, coreutils, GNU
+Coreutils}).
+
+When the given package is @emph{not} in the store, @command{guix size}
+reports information based on information about the available substitutes
+(@pxref{Substitutes}).  This allows it to profile disk usage of store
+items that are not even on disk, only available remotely.
+
+A single option is available:
+
+@table @option
+
+@item --system=@var{system}
+@itemx -s @var{system}
+Consider packages for @var{system}---e.g., @code{x86_64-linux}.
