@findex specification->package+output
When a package has more than one output it can be a challenge to refer to a
specific output instead of just to the standard @code{out} output. For these
situations one can use the @code{specification->package+output} procedure from
the @code{(gnu packages)} module. For example:
@lisp
(use-modules (gnu packages))
(operating-system
;; ...
(packages (append (map specification->package+output
'("nss-certs" "git" "git:send-email"))
%base-packages)))
