Given a hash type *ht* and a base-16 hash *h*, Nix will try to download the file from *hashed-mirror*/*ht*/*h*. This allows files to be downloaded even if they have disappeared from their original URI. For example, given an example mirror `http://tarballs.nixos.org/`, when building the derivation ```nix builtins.fetchurl { url = "https://example.org/foo-1.2.3.tar.xz"; sha256 = "2c26b46b68ffc68ff99b453c1d30413413422d706483bfa0f98a5e886266e7ae"; } ``` Nix will attempt to download this file from `http://tarballs.nixos.org/sha256/2c26b46b68ffc68ff99b453c1d30413413422d706483bfa0f98a5e886266e7ae` first. If it is not available there, if will try the original URI. )"}; Setting minFree{ this, 0, "min-free", R"( When free disk space in `/nix/store` drops below `min-free` during a build, Nix performs a garbage-collection until `max-free` bytes are available or there is no more garbage. A value of `0` (the default) disables this feature. )"}; Setting maxFree{ this, std::numeric_limits::max(), "max-free", R"( When a garbage collection is triggered by the `min-free` option, it stops as soon as `max-free` bytes are available. The default is infinity (i.e. delete all garbage). )"}; Setting minFreeCheckInterval{this, 5, "min-free-check-interval", "Number of seconds between checking free disk space."}; PluginFilesSetting pluginFiles{ this, {}, "plugin-files", R"( A list of plugin files to be loaded by Nix. Each of these files will be dlopened by Nix, allowing them to affect execution through static initialization. In particular, these plugins may construct static instances of RegisterPrimOp to add new primops or constants to the expression language, RegisterStoreImplementation to add new store implementations, RegisterCommand to add new subcommands to the `nix` command, and RegisterSetting to add new nix config settings. See the constructors for those types for more details. Warning! These APIs are inherently unstable and may change from release to release. Since these files are loaded into the same address space as Nix itself, they must be DSOs compatible with the instance of Nix running at the time (i.e. compiled against the same headers, not linked to any incompatible libraries). They should not be linked to any Nix libs directly, as those will be available already at load time. If an entry in the list is a directory, all files in the directory are loaded as plugins (non-recursively). )"}; Setting narBufferSize{this, 32 * 1024 * 1024, "nar-buffer-size", "Maximum size of NARs before spilling them to disk."}; Setting allowSymlinkedStore{ this, false, "allow-symlinked-store", R"( If set to `true`, Nix will stop complaining if the store directory (typically /nix/store) contains symlink components. This risks making some builds "impure" because builders sometimes "canonicalise" paths by resolving all symlink components. Problems occur if those builds are then deployed to machines where /nix/store resolves to a different location from that of the build machine. You can enable this setting if you are sure you're not going to do that. )"}; Setting useXDGBaseDirectories{ this, false, "use-xdg-base-directories", R"( If set to `true`, Nix will conform to the [XDG Base Directory Specification] for files in `$HOME`. The environment variables used to implement this are documented in the [Environment Variables section](@docroot@/command-ref/env-common.md). [XDG Base Directory Specification]: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html > **Warning** > This changes the location of some well-known symlinks that Nix creates, which might break tools that rely on the old, non-XDG-conformant locations. In particular, the following locations change: | Old | New | |-------------------|--------------------------------| | `~/.nix-profile` | `$XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profile` | | `~/.nix-defexpr` | `$XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/defexpr` | | `~/.nix-channels` | `$XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/channels` | If you already have Nix installed and are using [profiles](@docroot@/package-management/profiles.md) or [channels](@docroot@/command-ref/nix-channel.md), you should migrate manually when you enable this option. If `$XDG_STATE_HOME` is not set, use `$HOME/.local/state/nix` instead of `$XDG_STATE_HOME/nix`. This can be achieved with the following shell commands: ```sh nix_state_home=${XDG_STATE_HOME-$HOME/.local/state}/nix mkdir -p $nix_state_home mv $HOME/.nix-profile $nix_state_home/profile mv $HOME/.nix-defexpr $nix_state_home/defexpr mv $HOME/.nix-channels $nix_state_home/channels ``` )" }; }; // FIXME: don't use a global variable. extern Settings settings; /** * This should be called after settings are initialized, but before * anything else */ void initPlugins(); void loadConfFile(); // Used by the Settings constructor std::vector getUserConfigFiles(); extern const std::string nixVersion; /** * NB: This is not sufficient.
