+## writeTest

+Very similiar to writeDeploy, but just builds the system on the target without
+activating it.
+
+This basically makes the sources available on the target machine
+below `/var/src`, and executes `NIX_PATH=/var/src nix-build -A system '<nixpkgs/nixos>'`.

+## writeCommand
+
+This can be used to run other commands than `nixos-rebuild` or pre/post build hooks.
+
+### `command`
+
+A function which takes the targetPath as an attribute.
+Example to activate/deactivate a swapfile before/after build:
+
+```nix
+pkgs.krops.writeCommand "deploy-with-swap" {
+  source = source;
+  target = "root@YOUR_IP_ADDRESS_OR_HOST_NAME_HERE";
+  command = targetPath: ''
+    swapon /var/swapfile
+    nixos-rebuild -I ${targetPath} switch
+    swapoff /var/swapfile
+  '';
+}
