- [`__structuredAttrs`]{#adv-attr-structuredAttrs}\
If the special attribute `__structuredAttrs` is set to `true`, the other derivation
attributes are serialised in JSON format and made available to the
builder via the file `.attrs.json` in the builder’s temporary
directory. This obviates the need for [`passAsFile`](#adv-attr-passAsFile) since JSON files
have no size restrictions, unlike process environments.
attributes are serialised into a file in JSON format. The environment variable
`NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE` points to the exact location of that file both in a build
and a [`nix-shell`](../command-ref/nix-shell.md). This obviates the need for
[`passAsFile`](#adv-attr-passAsFile) since JSON files have no size restrictions,
unlike process environments.
It also makes it possible to tweak derivation settings in a structured way; see
[`outputChecks`](#adv-attr-outputChecks) for example.
As a convenience to Bash builders,
Nix writes a script named `.attrs.sh` to the builder’s directory
that initialises shell variables corresponding to all attributes
that are representable in Bash. This includes non-nested
Nix writes a script that initialises shell variables
corresponding to all attributes that are representable in Bash. The
environment variable `NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` points to the exact
location of the script, both in a build and a
[`nix-shell`](../command-ref/nix-shell.md). This includes non-nested
(associative) arrays. For example, the attribute `hardening.format = true`
ends up as the Bash associative array element `${hardening[format]}`.

@ -124,6 +124,11 @@ The builder is executed as follows:
- `NIX_STORE` is set to the path of the top-level Nix store
directory (typically, `/nix/store`).
- `NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE` & `NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` if `__structuredAttrs`
is set to `true` for the dervation. A detailed explanation of this
behavior can be found in the
[section about structured attrs](./advanced-attributes.md#adv-attr-structuredAttrs).
- For each output declared in `outputs`, the corresponding
environment variable is set to point to the intended path in the
Nix store for that output. Each output path is a concatenation
