Printing a string with escapes in it will render as a string normally.
nix-repl> "meow\n\nmeowmeowmeow"
"meow\n\nmeowmeowmeow"
But with :p on the string itself it will print it literally to the output.
nix-repl> :p "meow\n\nmeowmeowmeow"
meow
meowmeowmeow
nix-repl> builtins.listToAttrs (builtins.genList (x: { name = "meow${toString x}"; value = { meow = { inherit x; s = "meowmeow\n\n${toString x}"; }; }; }) 10)
{
meow0 = { ... };
meow1 = { ... };
meow2 = { ... };
meow3 = { ... };
meow4 = { ... };
meow5 = { ... };
meow6 = { ... };
meow7 = { ... };
meow8 = { ... };
meow9 = { ... };
}
Also, :p will expand attrs, but it will leave the strings escaped as normal if
they aren't the top level item being printed.
nix-repl> :p builtins.listToAttrs (builtins.genList (x: { name = "meow${toString x}"; value = { meow = { inherit x; s = "meowmeow\n\n${toString x}"; }; }; }) 10)
