Only if you have util-linux in the same profile. And there is always
`guix environment --pure`, so not really.

Actually, I changed my mind and would like to keep it as-is for now.
The main problem is that the man page is not easily accessible, but that

Will push this later when I figure out a synopsis that does not upset
`guix lint` :)
