// it is written to minimize the latency between page load and redirect.

// IMPORTANT: we use stateful array operations and their order matters!
//
// matching URLs is more involved than it should be:
//
// 1. `document.location.pathname` can have an arbitrary prefix.
//
// 2. `path_to_root` is set by mdBook. it consists only of `../`s and

// `path_to_root` has same number of path segments

// 1. the original `document.location.pathname` is absolute,
// hence first element of `segments` is always empty.
// 2. last element of splitting `path_to_root` is also always empty.
// 3. last element of `segments` is the file name.
//
// visual example:
//
// '/foo/bar/baz.html'.split('/') -> [ '', 'foo', 'bar', 'baz.html' ]
// '../'.split('/') -> [ '..', '' ]
//
// the following operations will then result in
//
// path = 'bar/baz.html'
//
segments.splice(0, segments.length - depth);
const path = segments.join('/');
// anchor starts with the hash character (`#`),
// but our redirect declarations don't, so we strip it.
// example:
// document.location.hash -> '#foo'
// document.location.hash.substring(1) -> 'foo'
const anchor = document.location.hash.substring(1);

# Automatic and Optionally Enforced Determinism Verification
Automatically verify every build at build time by executing the build
multiple times.
Setting `repeat` and `enforce-determinism` in your `nix.conf` permits
the automated verification of every build Nix performs.
The following configuration will run each build three times, and will
require the build to be deterministic:
enforce-determinism = true
repeat = 2
Setting `enforce-determinism` to false as in the following
configuration will run the build multiple times, execute the build
hook, but will allow the build to succeed even if it does not build
reproducibly:

# Architecture
This chapter describes how Nix works.
It should help users understand why Nix behaves as it does, and it should help developers understand how to modify Nix and how to write similar tools.
## Overview
Nix consists of [hierarchical layers].
[hierarchical layers]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitier_architecture#Layers
The following [concept map] shows its main components (rectangles), the objects they operate on (rounded rectangles), and their interactions (connecting phrases):

```
At the top is the [command line interface](../command-ref/command-ref.md) that drives the underlying layers.
The [Nix language](../language/index.md) evaluator transforms Nix expressions into self-contained *build plans*, which are used to derive *build results* from referenced *build inputs*.
The command line interface and Nix expressions are what users deal with most.
> **Note**
> The Nix language itself does not have a notion of *packages* or *configurations*.
> As far as we are concerned here, the inputs and results of a build plan are just data.
Underlying the command line interface and the Nix language evaluator is the [Nix store](../glossary.md#gloss-store), a mechanism to keep track of build plans, data, and references between them.
It can also execute build plans to produce new data, which are made available to the operating system as files.
A build plan itself is a series of *build tasks*, together with their build inputs.
> **Important**
> A build task in Nix is called [derivation](../glossary#gloss-derivation).
Each build task has a special build input executed as *build instructions* in order to perform the build.
The result of a build task can be input to another build task.
The following [data flow diagram] shows a build plan for illustration.
Build inputs used as instructions to a build task are marked accordingly:

Most Nix commands interpret the following environment variables:
- `IN_NIX_SHELL`\
- [`IN_NIX_SHELL`]{#env-IN_NIX_SHELL}\
Indicator that tells if the current environment was set up by
`nix-shell`. Since Nix 2.0 the values are `"pure"` and `"impure"`
`nix-shell`. It can have the values `pure` or `impure`.
- `NIX_PATH`\
A colon-separated list of directories used to look up Nix
expressions enclosed in angle brackets (i.e., `<path>`). For
instance, the value
- [`NIX_PATH`]{#env-NIX_PATH}\
A colon-separated list of directories used to look up the location of Nix
expressions using [paths](../language/values.md#type-path)
enclosed in angle brackets (i.e., `<path>`),
e.g. `/home/eelco/Dev:/etc/nixos`. It can be extended using the
[`-I` option](./opt-common#opt-I).
/home/eelco/Dev:/etc/nixos
will cause Nix to look for paths relative to `/home/eelco/Dev` and
`/etc/nixos`, in this order. It is also possible to match paths
against a prefix. For example, the value
nixpkgs=/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs-branch:/etc/nixos
will cause Nix to search for `<nixpkgs/path>` in
`/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs-branch/path` and `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/path`.
If a path in the Nix search path starts with `http://` or
`https://`, it is interpreted as the URL of a tarball that will be
downloaded and unpacked to a temporary location. The tarball must
consist of a single top-level directory. For example, setting
`NIX_PATH` to
nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/master.tar.gz
tells Nix to download and use the current contents of the
`master` branch in the `nixpkgs` repository.
The URLs of the tarballs from the official nixos.org channels (see
[the manual for `nix-channel`](nix-channel.md)) can be abbreviated
as `channel:<channel-name>`. For instance, the following two
values of `NIX_PATH` are equivalent:
nixpkgs=channel:nixos-21.05
nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-21.05/nixexprs.tar.xz
The Nix search path can also be extended using the `-I` option to
many Nix commands, which takes precedence over `NIX_PATH`.
- `NIX_IGNORE_SYMLINK_STORE`\
- [`NIX_IGNORE_SYMLINK_STORE`]{#env-NIX_IGNORE_SYMLINK_STORE}\
Normally, the Nix store directory (typically `/nix/store`) is not
allowed to contain any symlink components. This is to prevent
“impure” builds. Builders sometimes “canonicalise” paths by

## Running tests
### Unit-tests
The unit-tests for each Nix library (`libexpr`, `libstore`, etc..) are defined
under `src/{library_name}/tests` using the
[googletest](https://google.github.io/googletest/) framework.
You can run the whole testsuite with `make check`, or the tests for a specific component with `make libfoo-tests_RUN`. Finer-grained filtering is also possible using the [--gtest_filter](https://google.github.io/googletest/advanced.html#running-a-subset-of-the-tests) command-line option.
### Functional tests
The functional tests reside under the `tests` directory and are listed in `tests/local.mk`.
Each test is a bash script.
The whole test suite can be run with:
```shell-session
$ make install && make installcheck
ran test tests/foo.sh... [PASS]
ran test tests/bar.sh... [PASS]
...
```
Individual tests can be run with `make`:
```shell-session
$ make tests/${testName}.sh.test
ran test tests/${testName}.sh... [PASS]
```
or without `make`:
```shell-session
$ ./mk/run-test.sh tests/${testName}.sh
ran test tests/${testName}.sh... [PASS]
```
To see the complete output, one can also run:
```shell-session
$ ./mk/debug-test.sh tests/${testName}.sh
+ foo
output from foo
+ bar
output from bar
...
```
The test script will then be traced with `set -x` and the output displayed as it happens, regardless of whether the test succeeds or fails.
#### Debugging failing functional tests
When a functional test fails, it usually does so somewhere in the middle of the script.
To figure out what's wrong, it is convenient to run the test regularly up to the failing `nix` command, and then run that command with a debugger like GDB.
For example, if the script looks like:
```bash
foo
nix blah blub
bar
```
edit it like so:
```diff
foo
-nix blah blub
+gdb --args nix blah blub
bar
```
Then, running the test with `./mk/debug-test.sh` will drop you into GDB once the script reaches that point:
```shell-session
$ ./mk/debug-test.sh tests/${testName}.sh
...
+ gdb blash blub
GNU gdb (GDB) 12.1
...
(gdb)
```
One can debug the Nix invocation in all the usual ways.
For example, enter `run` to start the Nix invocation.
### Integration tests
The integration tests are defined in the Nix flake under the `hydraJobs.tests` attribute.
These tests include everything that needs to interact with external services or run Nix in a non-trivial distributed setup.
Because these tests are expensive and require more than what the standard github-actions setup provides, they only run on the master branch (on <https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nix/master>).
You can run them manually with `nix build .#hydraJobs.tests.{testName}` or `nix-build -A hydraJobs.tests.{testName}`
### Installer tests
After a one-time setup, the Nix repository's GitHub Actions continuous integration (CI) workflow can test the installer each time you push to a branch.
Creating a Cachix cache for your installer tests and adding its authorization token to GitHub enables [two installer-specific jobs in the CI workflow](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/88a45d6149c0e304f6eb2efcc2d7a4d0d569f8af/.github/workflows/ci.yml#L50-L91):
- The `installer` job generates installers for the platforms below and uploads them to your Cachix cache:
- `x86_64-linux`
- `armv6l-linux`
- `armv7l-linux`
- `x86_64-darwin`
- The `installer_test` job (which runs on `ubuntu-latest` and `macos-latest`) will try to install Nix with the cached installer and run a trivial Nix command.
#### One-time setup
1. Have a GitHub account with a fork of the [Nix repository](https://github.com/NixOS/nix).
2. At cachix.org:
- Create or log in to an account.
- Create a Cachix cache using the format `<github-username>-nix-install-tests`.
- Navigate to the new cache > Settings > Auth Tokens.
- Generate a new Cachix auth token and copy the generated value.
3. At github.com:
- Navigate to your Nix fork > Settings > Secrets > Actions > New repository secret.
- Name the secret `CACHIX_AUTH_TOKEN`.
- Paste the copied value of the Cachix cache auth token.
#### Using the CI-generated installer for manual testing
After the CI run completes, you can check the output to extract the installer URL:
1. Click into the detailed view of the CI run.
2. Click into any `installer_test` run (the URL you're here to extract will be the same in all of them).
3. Click into the `Run cachix/install-nix-action@v...` step and click the detail triangle next to the first log line (it will also be `Run cachix/install-nix-action@v...`)
4. Copy the value of `install_url`
5. To generate an install command, plug this `install_url` and your GitHub username into this template:
```console
sh <(curl -L <install_url>) --tarball-url-prefix https://<github-username>-nix-install-tests.cachix.org/serve
```

platforms that lack GA runners.

so I don't want to uphold any of it as "right". It may have been dumb or
the _hard_ way from the getgo. Fundamentals may have changed since.
Here's the build command I used to do this on and for x86_64-darwin:
nix build --out-link /tmp/foo ".#checks.x86_64-darwin.binaryTarball"
I used the stable out-link to make it easier to script the next steps:
link=$(readlink /tmp/foo)
cp $link/*-darwin.tar.xz ~/somewheres
I've lost the last steps and am just going from memory:
From here, I think I had to extract and modify the `install` script to point
it at this tarball (which I scped to my own site, but it might make more sense
to just share them locally). I extracted this script once and then just
search/replaced in it for each new build.
The installer now supports a `--tarball-url-prefix` flag which _may_ have
solved this need?

# Arguments and Variables
The [Nix expression for GNU Hello](expression-syntax.md) is a
function; it is missing some arguments that have to be filled in
somewhere. In the Nix Packages collection this is done in the file
`pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix`, where all Nix expressions for
packages are imported and called with the appropriate arguments. Here
are some fragments of `all-packages.nix`, with annotations of what
they mean:
```nix
...
rec { ①
hello = import ../applications/misc/hello/ex-1 ② { ③
inherit fetchurl stdenv perl;
};
perl = import ../development/interpreters/perl { ④
inherit fetchurl stdenv;
};
fetchurl = import ../build-support/fetchurl {
inherit stdenv; ...
};
stdenv = ...;
}
```
1. This file defines a set of attributes, all of which are concrete
derivations (i.e., not functions). In fact, we define a *mutually
recursive* set of attributes. That is, the attributes can refer to
each other. This is precisely what we want since we want to “plug”
the various packages into each other.
2. Here we *import* the Nix expression for GNU Hello. The import
operation just loads and returns the specified Nix expression. In
fact, we could just have put the contents of the Nix expression
for GNU Hello in `all-packages.nix` at this point. That would be
completely equivalent, but it would make `all-packages.nix` rather
bulky.
Note that we refer to `../applications/misc/hello/ex-1`, not
`../applications/misc/hello/ex-1/default.nix`. When you try to
import a directory, Nix automatically appends `/default.nix` to the
file name.
3. This is where the actual composition takes place. Here we *call* the
function imported from `../applications/misc/hello/ex-1` with a set
containing the things that the function expects, namely `fetchurl`,
`stdenv`, and `perl`. We use inherit again to use the attributes
defined in the surrounding scope (we could also have written
`fetchurl = fetchurl;`, etc.).
The result of this function call is an actual derivation that can be
built by Nix (since when we fill in the arguments of the function,
what we get is its body, which is the call to `stdenv.mkDerivation`
in the [Nix expression for GNU Hello](expression-syntax.md)).
> **Note**
>
> Nixpkgs has a convenience function `callPackage` that imports and
> calls a function, filling in any missing arguments by passing the
> corresponding attribute from the Nixpkgs set, like this:
>
> ```nix
> hello = callPackage ../applications/misc/hello/ex-1 { };
> ```
>
> If necessary, you can set or override arguments:
>
> ```nix
> hello = callPackage ../applications/misc/hello/ex-1 { stdenv = myStdenv; };
> ```
4. Likewise, we have to instantiate Perl, `fetchurl`, and the standard
environment.

# Build Script
Here is the builder referenced from Hello's Nix expression (stored in
`pkgs/applications/misc/hello/ex-1/builder.sh`):
```bash
source $stdenv/setup ①
PATH=$perl/bin:$PATH ②
tar xvfz $src ③
cd hello-*
./configure --prefix=$out ④
make ⑤
make install
```
The builder can actually be made a lot shorter by using the *generic
builder* functions provided by `stdenv`, but here we write out the build
steps to elucidate what a builder does. It performs the following steps:
1. When Nix runs a builder, it initially completely clears the
environment (except for the attributes declared in the derivation).
This is done to prevent undeclared inputs from being used in the
build process. If for example the `PATH` contained `/usr/bin`, then
you might accidentally use `/usr/bin/gcc`.
So the first step is to set up the environment. This is done by
calling the `setup` script of the standard environment. The
environment variable `stdenv` points to the location of the
standard environment being used. (It wasn't specified explicitly
as an attribute in Hello's Nix expression, but `mkDerivation` adds
it automatically.)
2. Since Hello needs Perl, we have to make sure that Perl is in the
`PATH`. The `perl` environment variable points to the location of
the Perl package (since it was passed in as an attribute to the
derivation), so `$perl/bin` is the directory containing the Perl
interpreter.
3. Now we have to unpack the sources. The `src` attribute was bound to
the result of fetching the Hello source tarball from the network, so
the `src` environment variable points to the location in the Nix
store to which the tarball was downloaded. After unpacking, we `cd`
to the resulting source directory.
The whole build is performed in a temporary directory created in
`/tmp`, by the way. This directory is removed after the builder
finishes, so there is no need to clean up the sources afterwards.
Also, the temporary directory is always newly created, so you don't
have to worry about files from previous builds interfering with the
current build.
4. GNU Hello is a typical Autoconf-based package, so we first have to
run its `configure` script. In Nix every package is stored in a
separate location in the Nix store, for instance
`/nix/store/9a54ba97fb71b65fda531012d0443ce2-hello-2.1.1`. Nix
computes this path by cryptographically hashing all attributes of
the derivation. The path is passed to the builder through the `out`
environment variable. So here we give `configure` the parameter
`--prefix=$out` to cause Hello to be installed in the expected
location.
5. Finally we build Hello (`make`) and install it into the location
specified by `out` (`make install`).
If you are wondering about the absence of error checking on the result
of various commands called in the builder: this is because the shell
script is evaluated with Bash's `-e` option, which causes the script to
be aborted if any command fails without an error check.

# Nix Expression Language
The Nix expression language is a pure, lazy, functional language. Purity
means that operations in the language don't have side-effects (for
instance, there is no variable assignment). Laziness means that
arguments to functions are evaluated only when they are needed.
Functional means that functions are “normal” values that can be passed
around and manipulated in interesting ways. The language is not a
full-featured, general purpose language. Its main job is to describe
packages, compositions of packages, and the variability within packages.
This section presents the various features of the language.

# Expression Syntax
Here is a Nix expression for GNU Hello:
```nix
{ stdenv, fetchurl, perl }: ①
stdenv.mkDerivation { ②
name = "hello-2.1.1"; ③
builder = ./builder.sh; ④
src = fetchurl { ⑤
url = "ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/gnu/hello/hello-2.1.1.tar.gz";
sha256 = "1md7jsfd8pa45z73bz1kszpp01yw6x5ljkjk2hx7wl800any6465";
};
inherit perl; ⑥
}
```
This file is actually already in the Nix Packages collection in
`pkgs/applications/misc/hello/ex-1/default.nix`. It is customary to
place each package in a separate directory and call the single Nix
expression in that directory `default.nix`. The file has the following
elements (referenced from the figure by number):
1. This states that the expression is a *function* that expects to be
called with three arguments: `stdenv`, `fetchurl`, and `perl`. They
are needed to build Hello, but we don't know how to build them here;
that's why they are function arguments. `stdenv` is a package that
is used by almost all Nix Packages; it provides a
“standard” environment consisting of the things you would expect
in a basic Unix environment: a C/C++ compiler (GCC, to be precise),
the Bash shell, fundamental Unix tools such as `cp`, `grep`, `tar`,
etc. `fetchurl` is a function that downloads files. `perl` is the
Perl interpreter.
Nix functions generally have the form `{ x, y, ..., z }: e` where
`x`, `y`, etc. are the names of the expected arguments, and where
*e* is the body of the function. So here, the entire remainder of
the file is the body of the function; when given the required
arguments, the body should describe how to build an instance of
the Hello package.
2. So we have to build a package. Building something from other stuff
is called a *derivation* in Nix (as opposed to sources, which are
built by humans instead of computers). We perform a derivation by
calling `stdenv.mkDerivation`. `mkDerivation` is a function
provided by `stdenv` that builds a package from a set of
*attributes*. A set is just a list of key/value pairs where each
key is a string and each value is an arbitrary Nix
expression. They take the general form `{ name1 = expr1; ...
nameN = exprN; }`.
3. The attribute `name` specifies the symbolic name and version of
the package. Nix doesn't really care about these things, but they
are used by for instance `nix-env -q` to show a “human-readable”
name for packages. This attribute is required by `mkDerivation`.
4. The attribute `builder` specifies the builder. This attribute can
sometimes be omitted, in which case `mkDerivation` will fill in a
default builder (which does a `configure; make; make install`, in
essence). Hello is sufficiently simple that the default builder
would suffice, but in this case, we will show an actual builder
for educational purposes. The value `./builder.sh` refers to the
shell script shown in the [next section](build-script.md),
discussed below.
5. The builder has to know what the sources of the package are. Here,
the attribute `src` is bound to the result of a call to the
`fetchurl` function. Given a URL and a SHA-256 hash of the expected
contents of the file at that URL, this function builds a derivation
that downloads the file and checks its hash. So the sources are a
dependency that like all other dependencies is built before Hello
itself is built.
Instead of `src` any other name could have been used, and in fact
there can be any number of sources (bound to different attributes).
However, `src` is customary, and it's also expected by the default
builder (which we don't use in this example).
6. Since the derivation requires Perl, we have to pass the value of the
`perl` function argument to the builder. All attributes in the set
are actually passed as environment variables to the builder, so
declaring an attribute
```nix
perl = perl;
```
will do the trick: it binds an attribute `perl` to the function
argument which also happens to be called `perl`. However, it looks a
bit silly, so there is a shorter syntax. The `inherit` keyword
causes the specified attributes to be bound to whatever variables
with the same name happen to be in scope.

# Generic Builder Syntax
Recall that the [build script for GNU Hello](build-script.md) looked
something like this:
```bash
PATH=$perl/bin:$PATH
tar xvfz $src
cd hello-*
./configure --prefix=$out
make
make install
```
The builders for almost all Unix packages look like this — set up some
environment variables, unpack the sources, configure, build, and
install. For this reason the standard environment provides some Bash
functions that automate the build process. Here is what a builder using
the generic build facilities looks like:
```bash
buildInputs="$perl" ①
source $stdenv/setup ②
genericBuild ③
```
Here is what each line means:
1. The `buildInputs` variable tells `setup` to use the indicated
packages as “inputs”. This means that if a package provides a `bin`
subdirectory, it's added to `PATH`; if it has a `include`
subdirectory, it's added to GCC's header search path; and so on.
(This is implemented in a modular way: `setup` tries to source the
file `pkg/nix-support/setup-hook` of all dependencies. These “setup
hooks” can then set up whatever environment variables they want; for
instance, the setup hook for Perl sets the `PERL5LIB` environment
variable to contain the `lib/site_perl` directories of all inputs.)
2. The function `genericBuild` is defined in the file `$stdenv/setup`.
3. The final step calls the shell function `genericBuild`, which
performs the steps that were done explicitly in the previous build
script. The generic builder is smart enough to figure out whether
to unpack the sources using `gzip`, `bzip2`, etc. It can be
customised in many ways; see the Nixpkgs manual for details.
Discerning readers will note that the `buildInputs` could just as well
have been set in the Nix expression, like this:
```nix
buildInputs = [ perl ];
```
The `perl` attribute can then be removed, and the builder becomes even
shorter:
```bash
source $stdenv/setup
genericBuild
```
In fact, `mkDerivation` provides a default builder that looks exactly
like that, so it is actually possible to omit the builder for Hello
entirely.

# Values
## Simple Values
Nix has the following basic data types:
- *Strings* can be written in three ways.
The most common way is to enclose the string between double quotes,
e.g., `"foo bar"`. Strings can span multiple lines. The special
characters `"` and `\` and the character sequence `${` must be
escaped by prefixing them with a backslash (`\`). Newlines, carriage
returns and tabs can be written as `\n`, `\r` and `\t`,
respectively.
You can include the result of an expression into a string by
enclosing it in `${...}`, a feature known as *antiquotation*. The
enclosed expression must evaluate to something that can be coerced
into a string (meaning that it must be a string, a path, or a
derivation). For instance, rather than writing
```nix
"--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib"
```
(where `freetype` is a derivation), you can instead write the more
natural
```nix
"--with-freetype2-library=${freetype}/lib"
```
The latter is automatically translated to the former. A more
complicated example (from the Nix expression for
[Qt](http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt)):
```nix
configureFlags = "
-system-zlib -system-libpng -system-libjpeg
${if openglSupport then "-dlopen-opengl
-L${mesa}/lib -I${mesa}/include
-L${libXmu}/lib -I${libXmu}/include" else ""}
${if threadSupport then "-thread" else "-no-thread"}
";
```
Note that Nix expressions and strings can be arbitrarily nested; in
this case the outer string contains various antiquotations that
themselves contain strings (e.g., `"-thread"`), some of which in
turn contain expressions (e.g., `${mesa}`).
The second way to write string literals is as an *indented string*,
which is enclosed between pairs of *double single-quotes*, like so:
```nix
''
This is the first line.
This is the second line.
This is the third line.
''
```
This kind of string literal intelligently strips indentation from
the start of each line. To be precise, it strips from each line a
number of spaces equal to the minimal indentation of the string as a
whole (disregarding the indentation of empty lines). For instance,
the first and second line are indented two spaces, while the third
line is indented four spaces. Thus, two spaces are stripped from
each line, so the resulting string is
```nix
"This is the first line.\nThis is the second line.\n This is the third line.\n"
```
Note that the whitespace and newline following the opening `''` is
ignored if there is no non-whitespace text on the initial line.
Antiquotation (`${expr}`) is supported in indented strings.
Since `${` and `''` have special meaning in indented strings, you
need a way to quote them. `$` can be escaped by prefixing it with
`''` (that is, two single quotes), i.e., `''$`. `''` can be escaped
by prefixing it with `'`, i.e., `'''`. `$` removes any special
meaning from the following `$`. Linefeed, carriage-return and tab
characters can be written as `''\n`, `''\r`, `''\t`, and `''\`
escapes any other character.
Indented strings are primarily useful in that they allow multi-line
string literals to follow the indentation of the enclosing Nix
expression, and that less escaping is typically necessary for
strings representing languages such as shell scripts and
configuration files because `''` is much less common than `"`.
Example:
```nix
stdenv.mkDerivation {
...
postInstall =
''
mkdir $out/bin $out/etc
cp foo $out/bin
echo "Hello World" > $out/etc/foo.conf
${if enableBar then "cp bar $out/bin" else ""}
'';
...
}
```
Finally, as a convenience, *URIs* as defined in appendix B of
[RFC 2396](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt) can be written *as
is*, without quotes. For instance, the string
`"http://example.org/foo.tar.bz2"` can also be written as
`http://example.org/foo.tar.bz2`.
- Numbers, which can be *integers* (like `123`) or *floating point*
(like `123.43` or `.27e13`).
Numbers are type-compatible: pure integer operations will always
return integers, whereas any operation involving at least one
floating point number will have a floating point number as a result.
- *Paths*, e.g., `/bin/sh` or `./builder.sh`. A path must contain at
least one slash to be recognised as such. For instance, `builder.sh`
is not a path: it's parsed as an expression that selects the
attribute `sh` from the variable `builder`. If the file name is
relative, i.e., if it does not begin with a slash, it is made
absolute at parse time relative to the directory of the Nix
expression that contained it. For instance, if a Nix expression in
`/foo/bar/bla.nix` refers to `../xyzzy/fnord.nix`, the absolute path
is `/foo/xyzzy/fnord.nix`.
If the first component of a path is a `~`, it is interpreted as if
the rest of the path were relative to the user's home directory.
e.g. `~/foo` would be equivalent to `/home/edolstra/foo` for a user
whose home directory is `/home/edolstra`.
Paths can also be specified between angle brackets, e.g.
`<nixpkgs>`. This means that the directories listed in the
environment variable `NIX_PATH` will be searched for the given file
or directory name.
Antiquotation is supported in any paths except those in angle brackets.
`./${foo}-${bar}.nix` is a more convenient way of writing
`./. + "/" + foo + "-" + bar + ".nix"` or `./. + "/${foo}-${bar}.nix"`. At
least one slash must appear *before* any antiquotations for this to be
recognized as a path. `a.${foo}/b.${bar}` is a syntactically valid division
operation. `./a.${foo}/b.${bar}` is a path.
- *Booleans* with values `true` and `false`.
- The null value, denoted as `null`.
## Lists
Lists are formed by enclosing a whitespace-separated list of values
between square brackets. For example,
```nix
[ 123 ./foo.nix "abc" (f { x = y; }) ]
```
defines a list of four elements, the last being the result of a call to
the function `f`. Note that function calls have to be enclosed in
parentheses. If they had been omitted, e.g.,
```nix
[ 123 ./foo.nix "abc" f { x = y; } ]
```
the result would be a list of five elements, the fourth one being a
function and the fifth being a set.
Note that lists are only lazy in values, and they are strict in length.
## Sets
Sets are really the core of the language, since ultimately the Nix
language is all about creating derivations, which are really just sets
of attributes to be passed to build scripts.
Sets are just a list of name/value pairs (called *attributes*) enclosed
in curly brackets, where each value is an arbitrary expression
terminated by a semicolon. For example:
```nix
{ x = 123;
text = "Hello";
y = f { bla = 456; };
}
```
This defines a set with attributes named `x`, `text`, `y`. The order of
the attributes is irrelevant. An attribute name may only occur once.
Attributes can be selected from a set using the `.` operator. For
instance,
```nix
{ a = "Foo"; b = "Bar"; }.a
```
evaluates to `"Foo"`. It is possible to provide a default value in an
attribute selection using the `or` keyword. For example,
```nix
{ a = "Foo"; b = "Bar"; }.c or "Xyzzy"
```
will evaluate to `"Xyzzy"` because there is no `c` attribute in the set.
You can use arbitrary double-quoted strings as attribute names:
```nix
{ "foo ${bar}" = 123; "nix-1.0" = 456; }."foo ${bar}"
```
This will evaluate to `123` (Assuming `bar` is antiquotable). In the
case where an attribute name is just a single antiquotation, the quotes
can be dropped:
```nix
{ foo = 123; }.${bar} or 456
```
This will evaluate to `123` if `bar` evaluates to `"foo"` when coerced
to a string and `456` otherwise (again assuming `bar` is antiquotable).
In the special case where an attribute name inside of a set declaration
evaluates to `null` (which is normally an error, as `null` is not
antiquotable), that attribute is simply not added to the set:
```nix
{ ${if foo then "bar" else null} = true; }
```
This will evaluate to `{}` if `foo` evaluates to `false`.
A set that has a `__functor` attribute whose value is callable (i.e. is
itself a function or a set with a `__functor` attribute whose value is
callable) can be applied as if it were a function, with the set itself
passed in first , e.g.,
```nix
let add = { __functor = self: x: x + self.x; };
inc = add // { x = 1; };
in inc 1
```
evaluates to `2`. This can be used to attach metadata to a function
without the caller needing to treat it specially, or to implement a form
of object-oriented programming, for example.

# Building and Testing
You can now try to build Hello. Of course, you could do `nix-env -f . -iA
hello`, but you may not want to install a possibly broken package just
yet. The best way to test the package is by using the command
`nix-build`, which builds a Nix expression and creates a symlink named
`result` in the current directory:
```console
$ nix-build -A hello
building path `/nix/store/632d2b22514d...-hello-2.1.1'
hello-2.1.1/
hello-2.1.1/intl/
hello-2.1.1/intl/ChangeLog
...
$ ls -l result
lrwxrwxrwx ... 2006-09-29 10:43 result -> /nix/store/632d2b22514d...-hello-2.1.1
$ ./result/bin/hello
Hello, world!
```
The `-A` option selects the `hello` attribute. This is faster than
using the symbolic package name specified by the `name` attribute
(which also happens to be `hello`) and is unambiguous (there can be
multiple packages with the symbolic name `hello`, but there can be
only one attribute in a set named `hello`).
`nix-build` registers the `./result` symlink as a garbage collection
root, so unless and until you delete the `./result` symlink, the output
of the build will be safely kept on your system. You can use
`nix-build`s `-o` switch to give the symlink another name.
Nix has transactional semantics. Once a build finishes successfully, Nix
makes a note of this in its database: it registers that the path denoted
by `out` is now “valid”. If you try to build the derivation again, Nix
will see that the path is already valid and finish immediately. If a
build fails, either because it returns a non-zero exit code, because Nix
or the builder are killed, or because the machine crashes, then the
output paths will not be registered as valid. If you try to build the
derivation again, Nix will remove the output paths if they exist (e.g.,
because the builder died half-way through `make
install`) and try again. Note that there is no “negative caching”: Nix
doesn't remember that a build failed, and so a failed build can always
be repeated. This is because Nix cannot distinguish between permanent
failures (e.g., a compiler error due to a syntax error in the source)
and transient failures (e.g., a disk full condition).
Nix also performs locking. If you run multiple Nix builds
simultaneously, and they try to build the same derivation, the first Nix
instance that gets there will perform the build, while the others block
(or perform other derivations if available) until the build finishes:
```console
$ nix-build -A hello
waiting for lock on `/nix/store/0h5b7hp8d4hqfrw8igvx97x1xawrjnac-hello-2.1.1x'
```
So it is always safe to run multiple instances of Nix in parallel (which
isnt the case with, say, `make`).

# A Simple Nix Expression
This section shows how to add and test the [GNU Hello
package](http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/hello.html) to the Nix
Packages collection. Hello is a program that prints out the text “Hello,
world\!”.
To add a package to the Nix Packages collection, you generally need to
do three things:
1. Write a Nix expression for the package. This is a file that
describes all the inputs involved in building the package, such as
dependencies, sources, and so on.
2. Write a *builder*. This is a shell script that builds the package
from the inputs. (In fact, it can be written in any language, but
typically it's a `bash` shell script.)
3. Add the package to the file `pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix`. The
Nix expression written in the first step is a *function*; it
requires other packages in order to build it. In this step you put
it all together, i.e., you call the function with the right
arguments to build the actual package.

# Glossary
- derivation\
A description of a build action. The result of a derivation is a
- [derivation]{#gloss-derivation}\
A description of a build task. The result of a derivation is a
store object. Derivations are typically specified in Nix expressions
using the [`derivation` primitive](expressions/derivations.md). These are
using the [`derivation` primitive](./language/derivations.md). These are
translated into low-level *store derivations* (implicitly by
`nix-env` and `nix-build`, or explicitly by `nix-instantiate`).
- store\
[derivation]: #gloss-derivation
- [store derivation]{#gloss-store-derivation}\
A [derivation] represented as a `.drv` file in the [store].
It has a [store path], like any [store object].
Example: `/nix/store/g946hcz4c8mdvq2g8vxx42z51qb71rvp-git-2.38.1.drv`
See [`nix show-derivation`](./command-ref/new-cli/nix3-show-derivation.md) (experimental) for displaying the contents of store derivations.
[store derivation]: #gloss-store-derivation
- [content-addressed derivation]{#gloss-content-addressed-derivation}\
A derivation which has the
[`__contentAddressed`](./language/advanced-attributes.md#adv-attr-__contentAddressed)
attribute set to `true`.
- [fixed-output derivation]{#gloss-fixed-output-derivation}\
A derivation which includes the
[`outputHash`](./language/advanced-attributes.md#adv-attr-outputHash) attribute.
- [store]{#gloss-store}\
The location in the file system where store objects live. Typically
`/nix/store`.
- store path\
The location in the file system of a store object, i.e., an
From the perspective of the location where Nix is
invoked, the Nix store can be referred to
as a "_local_" or a "_remote_" one:
+ A *local store* exists on the filesystem of
the machine where Nix is invoked. You can use other
local stores by passing the `--store` flag to the
`nix` command. Local stores can be used for building derivations.
+ A *remote store* exists anywhere other than the
local filesystem. One example is the `/nix/store`
directory on another machine, accessed via `ssh` or
served by the `nix-serve` Perl script.
[store]: #gloss-store
- [chroot store]{#gloss-chroot-store}\
A local store whose canonical path is anything other than `/nix/store`.
- [binary cache]{#gloss-binary-cache}\
A *binary cache* is a Nix store which uses a different format: its
metadata and signatures are kept in `.narinfo` files rather than in a
Nix database. This different format simplifies serving store objects
over the network, but cannot host builds. Examples of binary caches
include S3 buckets and the [NixOS binary
cache](https://cache.nixos.org).
- [store path]{#gloss-store-path}\
The location of a [store object] in the file system, i.e., an
immediate child of the Nix store directory.
- store object\
Example: `/nix/store/a040m110amc4h71lds2jmr8qrkj2jhxd-git-2.38.1`
[store path]: #gloss-store-path
- [store object]{#gloss-store-object}\
A file that is an immediate child of the Nix store directory. These
can be regular files, but also entire directory trees. Store objects
can be sources (objects copied from outside of the store),
derivation outputs (objects produced by running a build action), or
derivations (files describing a build action).
derivation outputs (objects produced by running a build task), or
derivations (files describing a build task).
- substitute\
[store object]: #gloss-store-object
- [input-addressed store object]{#gloss-input-addressed-store-object}\
A store object produced by building a
non-[content-addressed](#gloss-content-addressed-derivation),
non-[fixed-output](#gloss-fixed-output-derivation)
derivation.
- [output-addressed store object]{#gloss-output-addressed-store-object}\
A store object whose store path hashes its content. This
includes derivations, the outputs of
[content-addressed derivations](#gloss-content-addressed-derivation),
and the outputs of
[fixed-output derivations](#gloss-fixed-output-derivation).
- [substitute]{#gloss-substitute}\
A substitute is a command invocation stored in the Nix database that
describes how to build a store object, bypassing the normal build
mechanism (i.e., derivations). Typically, the substitute builds the
store object by downloading a pre-built version of the store object
from some server.
- purity\
- [substituter]{#gloss-substituter}\
A *substituter* is an additional store from which Nix will
copy store objects it doesn't have. For details, see the
[`substituters` option](./command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-substituters).
- [purity]{#gloss-purity}\
The assumption that equal Nix derivations when run always produce
the same output. This cannot be guaranteed in general (e.g., a
builder can rely on external inputs such as the network or the
system time) but the Nix model assumes it.
- Nix expression\
- [Nix expression]{#gloss-nix-expression}\
A high-level description of software packages and compositions
thereof. Deploying software using Nix entails writing Nix
expressions for your packages. Nix expressions are translated to
derivations that are stored in the Nix store. These derivations can
then be built.
- reference\
- [reference]{#gloss-reference}\
A store path `P` is said to have a reference to a store path `Q` if
the store object at `P` contains the path `Q` somewhere. The
*references* of a store path are the set of store paths to which it

- reachable\
- [reachable]{#gloss-reachable}\
A store path `Q` is reachable from another store path `P` if `Q`
is in the *closure* of the *references* relation.
- closure\
- [closure]{#gloss-closure}\

directly or indirectly “reachable” from that store path; that is,
its the closure of the path under the *references* relation. For

The deriver of an *output path* is the store
derivation that built it.
- validity\
- [validity]{#gloss-validity}\
A store path is considered *valid* if it exists in the file system,
is listed in the Nix database as being valid, and if all paths in
its closure are also valid.
- user environment\
- [user environment]{#gloss-user-env}\
An automatically generated store object that consists of a set of
symlinks to “active” applications, i.e., other store paths. These
are generated automatically by
[`nix-env`](command-ref/nix-env.md). See *profiles*.
[`nix-env`](./command-ref/nix-env.md). See *profiles*.
- profile\
- [profile]{#gloss-profile}\
A symlink to the current *user environment* of a user, e.g.,
`/nix/var/nix/profiles/default`.
- NAR\
- [NAR]{#gloss-nar}\
A *N*ix *AR*chive. This is a serialisation of a path in the Nix
store. It can contain regular files, directories and symbolic
links. NARs are generated and unpacked using `nix-store --dump`
and `nix-store --restore`.

- [`∅`]{#gloss-emtpy-set}\
The empty set symbol. In the context of profile history, this denotes a package is not present in a particular version of the profile.
- `ε` \

It only exists for the Nix package manager:
to describe packages and configurations as well as their variants and compositions.
It is not intended for general purpose use.
- *declarative*
There is no notion of executing sequential steps.
Dependencies between operations are established only through data.
- *pure*
Values cannot change during computation.
Functions always produce the same output if their input does not change.
- *functional*
Functions are like any other value.
Functions can be assigned to names, taken as arguments, or returned by functions.
- *lazy*
Expressions are only evaluated when their value is needed.
- *dynamically typed*
Type errors are only detected when expressions are evaluated.

## Attribute selection
Select the attribute denoted by attribute path *attrpath* from [attribute set] *attrset*.
If the attribute doesnt exist, return *value* if provided, otherwise abort evaluation.
<!-- FIXME: the following should to into its own language syntax section, but that needs more work to fit in well -->
An attribute path is a dot-separated list of attribute names.
An attribute name can be an identifier or a string.
> *attrpath* = *name* [ `.` *name* ]...
> *name* = *identifier* | *string*
> *identifier* ~ `[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_'-]*`
[Attribute selection]: #attribute-selection
## Has attribute
> *attrset* `?` *attrpath*
Test whether [attribute set] *attrset* contains the attribute denoted by *attrpath*.
The result is a [Boolean] value.
[Boolean]: ./values.md#type-boolean
[Has attribute]: #has-attribute
## Arithmetic
Numbers are type-compatible:
Pure integer operations will always return integers, whereas any operation involving at least one floating point number return a floating point number.
See also [Comparison] and [Equality].
The `+` operator is overloaded to also work on strings and paths.
[arithmetic]: #arithmetic
## String concatenation
> *string* `+` *string*
Concatenate two [string]s and merge their string contexts.
[String concatenation]: #string-concatenation
## Path concatenation
> *path* `+` *path*
Concatenate two [path]s.
The result is a path.
[Path concatenation]: #path-concatenation
## Path and string concatenation
> *path* + *string*
Concatenate *[path]* with *[string]*.
The result is a path.
> **Note**
>
> The string must not have a string context that refers to a [store path].
[Path and string concatenation]: #path-and-string-concatenation
## String and path concatenation
> *string* + *path*
Concatenate *[string]* with *[path]*.
The result is a string.
> **Important**
>
> The file or directory at *path* must exist and is copied to the [store].
> The path appears in the result as the corresponding [store path].
[store path]: ../glossary.md#gloss-store-path
[store]: ../glossary.md#gloss-store
[Path and string concatenation]: #path-and-string-concatenation
## Update
> *attrset1* + *attrset2*
Update [attribute set] *attrset1* with names and values from *attrset2*.
The returned attribute set will have of all the attributes in *e1* and *e2*.
If an attribute name is present in both, the attribute value from the former is taken.
[Update]: #update
## Comparison
Comparison is
- [arithmetic] for [number]s
- lexicographic for [string]s and [path]s
- item-wise lexicographic for [list]s:
elements at the same index in both lists are compared according to their type and skipped if they are equal.
All comparison operators are implemented in terms of `<`, and the following equivalencies hold:
| comparison | implementation |
|--------------|-----------------------|
| *a* `<=` *b* | `! (` *b* `<` *a* `)` |
| *a* `>` *b* | *b* `<` *a* |
| *a* `>=` *b* | `! (` *a* `<` *b* `)` |
[Comparison]: #comparison-operators
## Equality
- [Attribute sets][attribute set] and [list]s are compared recursively, and therefore are fully evaluated.
- Comparison of [function]s always returns `false`.
- Numbers are type-compatible, see [arithmetic] operators.
- Floating point numbers only differ up to a limited precision.
[function]: ./constructs.md#functions
[Equality]: #equality
## Logical implication
Equivalent to `!`*b1* `||` *b2*.

# String interpolation
String interpolation is a language feature where a [string], [path], or [attribute name] can contain expressions enclosed in `${ }` (dollar-sign with curly brackets).
Such a string is an *interpolated string*, and an expression inside is an *interpolated expression*.
Interpolated expressions must evaluate to one of the following:
- a [string]
- a [path]
- a [derivation]
[string]: ./values.md#type-string
[path]: ./values.md#type-path
[attribute name]: ./values.md#attribute-set
[derivation]: ../glossary.md#gloss-derivation
## Examples
### String
Rather than writing
```nix
"--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib"
```
(where `freetype` is a [derivation]), you can instead write
```nix
"--with-freetype2-library=${freetype}/lib"
```
The latter is automatically translated to the former.
A more complicated example (from the Nix expression for [Qt](http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt)):
```nix
configureFlags = "
-system-zlib -system-libpng -system-libjpeg
${if openglSupport then "-dlopen-opengl
-L${mesa}/lib -I${mesa}/include
-L${libXmu}/lib -I${libXmu}/include" else ""}
${if threadSupport then "-thread" else "-no-thread"}
";
```
Note that Nix expressions and strings can be arbitrarily nested;
in this case the outer string contains various interpolated expressions that themselves contain strings (e.g., `"-thread"`), some of which in turn contain interpolated expressions (e.g., `${mesa}`).
### Path
Rather than writing
```nix
./. + "/" + foo + "-" + bar + ".nix"
```
or
```nix
./. + "/${foo}-${bar}.nix"
```
you can instead write
```nix
./${foo}-${bar}.nix
```
### Attribute name
Attribute names can be created dynamically with string interpolation:
```nix
let name = "foo"; in
{
${name} = "bar";
}
```
{ foo = "bar"; }

# Data Types
## Primitives
- <a id="type-string" href="#type-string">String</a>
*Strings* can be written in three ways.
The most common way is to enclose the string between double quotes,
e.g., `"foo bar"`. Strings can span multiple lines. The special
characters `"` and `\` and the character sequence `${` must be
escaped by prefixing them with a backslash (`\`). Newlines, carriage
returns and tabs can be written as `\n`, `\r` and `\t`,
respectively.
You can include the results of other expressions into a string by enclosing them in `${ }`, a feature known as [string interpolation].
[string interpolation]: ./string-interpolation.md
The second way to write string literals is as an *indented string*,
which is enclosed between pairs of *double single-quotes*, like so:
```nix
''
This is the first line.
This is the second line.
This is the third line.
''
```
This kind of string literal intelligently strips indentation from
the start of each line. To be precise, it strips from each line a
number of spaces equal to the minimal indentation of the string as a
whole (disregarding the indentation of empty lines). For instance,
the first and second line are indented two spaces, while the third
line is indented four spaces. Thus, two spaces are stripped from
each line, so the resulting string is
```nix
"This is the first line.\nThis is the second line.\n This is the third line.\n"
```
Note that the whitespace and newline following the opening `''` is
ignored if there is no non-whitespace text on the initial line.
Indented strings support [string interpolation].
Since `${` and `''` have special meaning in indented strings, you
need a way to quote them. `$` can be escaped by prefixing it with
`''` (that is, two single quotes), i.e., `''$`. `''` can be escaped
by prefixing it with `'`, i.e., `'''`. `$` removes any special
meaning from the following `$`. Linefeed, carriage-return and tab
characters can be written as `''\n`, `''\r`, `''\t`, and `''\`
escapes any other character.
Indented strings are primarily useful in that they allow multi-line
string literals to follow the indentation of the enclosing Nix
expression, and that less escaping is typically necessary for
strings representing languages such as shell scripts and
configuration files because `''` is much less common than `"`.
Example:
```nix
stdenv.mkDerivation {
...
postInstall =
''
mkdir $out/bin $out/etc
cp foo $out/bin
echo "Hello World" > $out/etc/foo.conf
${if enableBar then "cp bar $out/bin" else ""}
'';
...
}
```
Finally, as a convenience, *URIs* as defined in appendix B of
[RFC 2396](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt) can be written *as
is*, without quotes. For instance, the string
`"http://example.org/foo.tar.bz2"` can also be written as
`http://example.org/foo.tar.bz2`.
- <a id="type-number" href="#type-number">Number</a>
Numbers, which can be *integers* (like `123`) or *floating point*
(like `123.43` or `.27e13`).
See [arithmetic] and [comparison] operators for semantics.
[arithmetic]: ./operators.md#arithmetic
[comparison]: ./operators.md#comparison
- <a id="type-path" href="#type-path">Path</a>
*Paths*, e.g., `/bin/sh` or `./builder.sh`. A path must contain at
least one slash to be recognised as such. For instance, `builder.sh`
is not a path: it's parsed as an expression that selects the
attribute `sh` from the variable `builder`. If the file name is
relative, i.e., if it does not begin with a slash, it is made
absolute at parse time relative to the directory of the Nix
expression that contained it. For instance, if a Nix expression in
`/foo/bar/bla.nix` refers to `../xyzzy/fnord.nix`, the absolute path
is `/foo/xyzzy/fnord.nix`.
If the first component of a path is a `~`, it is interpreted as if
the rest of the path were relative to the user's home directory.
e.g. `~/foo` would be equivalent to `/home/edolstra/foo` for a user
whose home directory is `/home/edolstra`.
Paths can also be specified between angle brackets, e.g.
`<nixpkgs>`. This means that the directories listed in the
environment variable `NIX_PATH` will be searched for the given file
or directory name.
When an [interpolated string][string interpolation] evaluates to a path, the path is first copied into the Nix store and the resulting string is the [store path] of the newly created [store object].
[store path]: ../glossary.md#gloss-store-path
[store object]: ../glossary.md#gloss-store-object
For instance, evaluating `"${./foo.txt}"` will cause `foo.txt` in the current directory to be copied into the Nix store and result in the string `"/nix/store/<hash>-foo.txt"`.
Note that the Nix language assumes that all input files will remain _unchanged_ while evaluating a Nix expression.
For example, assume you used a file path in an interpolated string during a `nix repl` session.
Later in the same session, after having changed the file contents, evaluating the interpolated string with the file path again might not return a new store path, since Nix might not re-read the file contents.
Paths themselves, except those in angle brackets (`< >`), support [string interpolation].
At least one slash (`/`) must appear *before* any interpolated expression for the result to be recognized as a path.
`a.${foo}/b.${bar}` is a syntactically valid division operation.
`./a.${foo}/b.${bar}` is a path.
- <a id="type-boolean" href="#type-boolean">Boolean</a>
*Booleans* with values `true` and `false`.
- <a id="type-null" href="#type-null">Null</a>
The null value, denoted as `null`.
## List
Lists are formed by enclosing a whitespace-separated list of values
between square brackets. For example,
```nix
[ 123 ./foo.nix "abc" (f { x = y; }) ]
```
defines a list of four elements, the last being the result of a call to
the function `f`. Note that function calls have to be enclosed in
parentheses. If they had been omitted, e.g.,
```nix
[ 123 ./foo.nix "abc" f { x = y; } ]
```
the result would be a list of five elements, the fourth one being a
function and the fifth being a set.
Note that lists are only lazy in values, and they are strict in length.
## Attribute Set
An attribute set is a collection of name-value-pairs (called *attributes*) enclosed in curly brackets (`{ }`).
Names and values are separated by an equal sign (`=`).
Each value is an arbitrary expression terminated by a semicolon (`;`).
Attributes can appear in any order.
An attribute name may only occur once.
Example:
```nix
{
x = 123;
text = "Hello";
y = f { bla = 456; };
}
```
This defines a set with attributes named `x`, `text`, `y`.
Attributes can be selected from a set using the `.` operator. For
instance,
```nix
{ a = "Foo"; b = "Bar"; }.a
```
evaluates to `"Foo"`. It is possible to provide a default value in an
attribute selection using the `or` keyword. For example,
```nix
{ a = "Foo"; b = "Bar"; }.c or "Xyzzy"
```
will evaluate to `"Xyzzy"` because there is no `c` attribute in the set.
You can use arbitrary double-quoted strings as attribute names:
```nix
{ "$!@#?" = 123; }."$!@#?"
```
```nix
let bar = "bar";
{ "foo ${bar}" = 123; }."foo ${bar}"
```
Both will evaluate to `123`.
Attribute names support [string interpolation]:
```nix
let bar = "foo"; in
{ foo = 123; }.${bar}
```
```nix
let bar = "foo"; in
{ ${bar} = 123; }.foo
```
Both will evaluate to `123`.
In the special case where an attribute name inside of a set declaration
evaluates to `null` (which is normally an error, as `null` cannot be coerced to
a string), that attribute is simply not added to the set:
```nix
{ ${if foo then "bar" else null} = true; }
```
This will evaluate to `{}` if `foo` evaluates to `false`.
A set that has a `__functor` attribute whose value is callable (i.e. is
itself a function or a set with a `__functor` attribute whose value is
callable) can be applied as if it were a function, with the set itself
passed in first , e.g.,
```nix
let add = { __functor = self: x: x + self.x; };
inc = add // { x = 1; };
in inc 1
```
evaluates to `2`. This can be used to attach metadata to a function
without the caller needing to treat it specially, or to implement a form
of object-oriented programming, for example.

# Release 2.10 (2022-07-11)
* `nix repl` now takes installables on the command line, unifying the usage
with other commands that use `--file` and `--expr`. Primary breaking change
is for the common usage of `nix repl '<nixpkgs>'` which can be recovered with
`nix repl --file '<nixpkgs>'` or `nix repl --expr 'import <nixpkgs>{}'`.
This is currently guarded by the `repl-flake` experimental feature.
* A new function `builtins.traceVerbose` is available. It is similar
to `builtins.trace` if the `trace-verbose` setting is set to true,
and it is a no-op otherwise.
* `nix search` has a new flag `--exclude` to filter out packages.
* On Linux, if `/nix` doesn't exist and cannot be created and you're
not running as root, Nix will automatically use
`~/.local/share/nix/root` as a chroot store. This enables non-root
users to download the statically linked Nix binary and have it work
out of the box, e.g.
```
# ~/nix run nixpkgs#hello
warning: '/nix' does not exists, so Nix will use '/home/ubuntu/.local/share/nix/root' as a chroot store
Hello, world!
```
* `flake-registry.json` is now fetched from `channels.nixos.org`.
* Nix can now be built with LTO by passing `--enable-lto` to `configure`.
LTO is currently only supported when building with GCC.

# Release 2.12 (2022-12-06)
* On Linux, Nix can now run builds in a user namespace where they run
as root (UID 0) and have 65,536 UIDs available.
<!-- FIXME: move this to its own section about system features -->
This is primarily useful for running containers such as `systemd-nspawn`
inside a Nix build. For an example, see [`tests/systemd-nspawn/nix`][nspawn].
[nspawn]: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/67bcb99700a0da1395fa063d7c6586740b304598/tests/systemd-nspawn.nix.
A build can enable this by setting the derivation attribute:
```
requiredSystemFeatures = [ "uid-range" ];
```
The `uid-range` [system feature] requires the [`auto-allocate-uids`]
setting to be enabled.
[system feature]: ../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-system-features
* Nix can now automatically pick UIDs for builds, removing the need to
create `nixbld*` user accounts. See [`auto-allocate-uids`].
[`auto-allocate-uids`]: ../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-auto-allocate-uids
* On Linux, Nix has experimental support for running builds inside a
cgroup. See
[`use-cgroups`](../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-use-cgroups).
* `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` now accepts an additional argument `impure` which
defaults to `false`. If it is set to `true`, the `hash` and `sha256`
arguments will be ignored and the resulting derivation will have
`__impure` set to `true`, making it an impure derivation.
* If `builtins.readFile` is called on a file with context, then only
the parts of the context that appear in the content of the file are
retained. This avoids a lot of spurious errors where strings end up
having a context just because they are read from a store path
([#7260](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7260)).
* `nix build --json` now prints some statistics about top-level
derivations, such as CPU statistics when cgroups are enabled.

# Release 2.9 (2022-05-30)
* Running Nix with the new `--debugger` flag will cause it to start a
repl session if an exception is thrown during evaluation, or if
`builtins.break` is called. From there you can inspect the values
of variables and evaluate Nix expressions. In debug mode, the
following new repl commands are available:
```
:env Show env stack
:bt Show trace stack
:st Show current trace
:st <idx> Change to another trace in the stack
:c Go until end of program, exception, or builtins.break().
:s Go one step
```
Read more about the debugger
[here](https://www.zknotes.com/note/5970).
* Nix now provides better integration with zsh's `run-help`
feature. It is now included in the Nix installation in the form of
an autoloadable shell function, `run-help-nix`. It picks up Nix
subcommands from the currently typed in command and directs the user
to the associated man pages.
* `nix repl` has a new build-and-link (`:bl`) command that builds a
derivation while creating GC root symlinks.
* The path produced by `builtins.toFile` is now allowed to be imported
or read even with restricted evaluation. Note that this will not
work with a read-only store.
* `nix build` has a new `--print-out-paths` flag to print the
resulting output paths. This matches the default behaviour of
`nix-build`.
* You can now specify which outputs of a derivation `nix` should
operate on using the syntax `installable^outputs`,
e.g. `nixpkgs#glibc^dev,static` or `nixpkgs#glibc^*`. By default,
`nix` will use the outputs specified by the derivation's
`meta.outputsToInstall` attribute if it exists, or all outputs
otherwise.
* `builtins.fetchTree` (and flake inputs) can now be used to fetch
plain files over the `http(s)` and `file` protocols in addition to
directory tarballs.

# Release X.Y (202?-??-??)
* The `repeat` and `enforce-determinism` options have been removed
since they had been broken under many circumstances for a long time.
* You can now use [flake references] in the [old command line interface], e.g.
[flake references]: ../command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake.md#flake-references
[old command line interface]: ../command-ref/main-commands.md

```
* Instead of "antiquotation", the more common term [string interpolation](../language/string-interpolation.md) is now used consistently.
Historical release notes were not changed.
* Error traces have been reworked to provide detailed explanations and more
accurate error locations. A short excerpt of the trace is now shown by
default when an error occurs.

# Nix maintainers team
## Motivation
The goal of the team is to help other people to contribute to Nix.
## Members
- Eelco Dolstra (@edolstra) Team lead
- Théophane Hufschmitt (@thufschmitt)
- Valentin Gagarin (@fricklerhandwerk)
- Thomas Bereknyei (@tomberek)
- Robert Hensing (@roberth)
## Meeting protocol
The team meets twice a week:
- Discussion meeting: [Fridays 13:00-14:00 CET](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?eid=MHNtOGVuNWtrZXNpZHR2bW1sM3QyN2ZjaGNfMjAyMjExMjVUMTIwMDAwWiBiOW81MmZvYnFqYWs4b3E4bGZraGczdDBxZ0Bn)
1. Triage issues and pull requests from the _No Status_ column (30 min)
2. Discuss issues and pull requests from the _To discuss_ column (30 min)
- Work meeting: [Mondays 13:00-15:00 CET](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?eid=NTM1MG1wNGJnOGpmOTZhYms3bTB1bnY5cWxfMjAyMjExMjFUMTIwMDAwWiBiOW81MmZvYnFqYWs4b3E4bGZraGczdDBxZ0Bn)
1. Code review on pull requests from _In review_.
2. Other chores and tasks.
Meeting notes are collected on a [collaborative scratchpad](https://pad.lassul.us/Cv7FpYx-Ri-4VjUykQOLAw), and published on Discourse under the [Nix category](https://discourse.nixos.org/c/dev/nix/50).
## Project board protocol
The team uses a [GitHub project board](https://github.com/orgs/NixOS/projects/19/views/1) for tracking its work.
Issues on the board progress through the following states:
- No Status
Team members can add pull requests or issues to discuss or review together.
During the discussion meeting, the team triages new items.
If there is disagreement on the general idea behind an issue or pull request, it is moved to _To discuss_, otherwise to _In review_.
- To discuss
Pull requests and issues that are important and controversial are discussed by the team during discussion meetings.
This may be where the merit of the change itself or the implementation strategy is contested by a team member.
- In review
Pull requests in this column are reviewed together during work meetings.
This is both for spreading implementation knowledge and for establishing common values in code reviews.
When the overall direction is agreed upon, even when further changes are required, the pull request is assigned to one team member.
- Assigned for merging
One team member is assigned to each of these pull requests.
They will communicate with the authors, and make the final approval once all remaining issues are addressed.
If more substantive issues arise, the assignee can move the pull request back to _To discuss_ to involve the team again.
The process is illustrated in the following diagram:
```mermaid
flowchart TD
discuss[To discuss]
review[To review]
New --> |Disagreement on idea| discuss
New & discuss --> |Consensus on idea| review
review --> |Consensus on implementation| Assigned
Assigned --> |Implementation issues arise| review
Assigned --> |Remaining issues fixed| Merged
```

# run-help is a zsh widget that can be bound to a key. It mainly looks up the

# Although run-help works for any command without requiring special support,

It is also possible to match paths against a prefix. For example,
passing
```
-I nixpkgs=/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs-branch
-I /etc/nixos
```
will cause Nix to search for `<nixpkgs/path>` in
`/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs-branch/path` and `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/path`.
If a path in the Nix search path starts with `http://` or `https://`,
it is interpreted as the URL of a tarball that will be downloaded and
unpacked to a temporary location. The tarball must consist of a single
top-level directory. For example, passing
```
-I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/master.tar.gz
```
tells Nix to download and use the current contents of the `master`
branch in the `nixpkgs` repository.
The URLs of the tarballs from the official `nixos.org` channels
(see [the manual page for `nix-channel`](../nix-channel.md)) can be
abbreviated as `channel:<channel-name>`. For instance, the
following two flags are equivalent:
```
-I nixpkgs=channel:nixos-21.05
-I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-21.05/nixexprs.tar.xz
```
You can also fetch source trees using [flake URLs](./nix3-flake.md#url-like-syntax) and add them to the
search path. For instance,
```
-I nixpkgs=flake:nixpkgs
```
specifies that the prefix `nixpkgs` shall refer to the source tree
downloaded from the `nixpkgs` entry in the flake registry. Similarly,
```
-I nixpkgs=flake:github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-22.05
```
makes `<nixpkgs>` refer to a particular branch of the
`NixOS/nixpkgs` repository on GitHub.
