      Load, parse and return the Nix expression in the file *path*. If
      *path* is a directory, the file ` default.nix ` in that directory
      is loaded. Evaluation aborts if the file doesn’t exist or contains
      an incorrect Nix expression. `import` implements Nix’s module
      system: you can put any Nix expression (such as a set or a
      function) in a separate file, and use it from Nix expressions in
      other files.

      > **Note**
      >
      > Unlike some languages, `import` is a regular function in Nix.
      > Paths using the angle bracket syntax (e.g., `import` *\<foo\>*)
      > are [normal path values](language-values.md).

      A Nix expression loaded by `import` must not contain any *free
      variables* (identifiers that are not defined in the Nix expression
      itself and are not built-in). Therefore, it cannot refer to
      variables that are in scope at the call site. For instance, if you
      have a calling expression

      ```nix
      rec {
        x = 123;
        y = import ./foo.nix;
      }
      ```

      then the following `foo.nix` will give an error:

      ```nix
      x + 456
      ```

      since `x` is not in scope in `foo.nix`. If you want `x` to be
      available in `foo.nix`, you should pass it as a function argument:

      ```nix
      rec {
        x = 123;
        y = import ./foo.nix x;
      }
      ```

      and

      ```nix
      x: x + 456
      ```

      (The function argument doesn’t have to be called `x` in `foo.nix`;
      any name would work.)

          { path = "/wiki"; war = uberwiki + "/uberwiki.war"; }
        ];
      })
      ```

      The builder is supposed to generate the configuration file for a
      [Jetty servlet container](http://jetty.mortbay.org/). A servlet
      container contains a number of servlets (`*.war` files) each
      exported under a specific URI prefix. So the servlet configuration
      is a list of sets containing the `path` and `war` of the servlet
      (①). This kind of information is difficult to communicate with the
      normal method of passing information through an environment
      variable, which just concatenates everything together into a
      string (which might just work in this case, but wouldn’t work if
      fields are optional or contain lists themselves). Instead the Nix
      expression is converted to an XML representation with `toXML`,
      which is unambiguous and can easily be processed with the
      appropriate tools. For instance, in the example an XSLT stylesheet
      (at point ②) is applied to it (at point ①) to generate the XML
      configuration file for the Jetty server. The XML representation
      produced at point ③ by `toXML` is as follows:

      ```xml
      <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
      <expr>
        <list>
          <attrs>
            <attr name="path">
              <string value="/bugtracker" />
            </attr>
            <attr name="war">
              <path value="/nix/store/d1jh9pasa7k2...-jira/lib/atlassian-jira.war" />
            </attr>
          </attrs>
          <attrs>
            <attr name="path">
              <string value="/wiki" />
            </attr>
            <attr name="war">
              <path value="/nix/store/y6423b1yi4sx...-uberwiki/uberwiki.war" />
            </attr>
          </attrs>
        </list>
      </expr>
      ```

      Note that we used the `toFile` built-in to write the builder and
      the stylesheet “inline” in the Nix expression. The path of the
      stylesheet is spliced into the builder using the syntax `xsltproc
      ${stylesheet}`.

      Store the string *s* in a file in the Nix store and return its
      path.  The file has suffix *name*. This file can be used as an
      input to derivations. One application is to write builders
      “inline”. For instance, the following Nix expression combines the
      [Nix expression for GNU Hello](expression-syntax.md) and its
      [build script](build-script.md) into one file:

      ```nix
      { stdenv, fetchurl, perl }:

      stdenv.mkDerivation {
        name = "hello-2.1.1";

        builder = builtins.toFile "builder.sh" "
          source $stdenv/setup

          PATH=$perl/bin:$PATH

          tar xvfz $src
          cd hello-*
          ./configure --prefix=$out
          make
          make install
        ";

        src = fetchurl {
          url = "http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/gnu/hello/hello-2.1.1.tar.gz";
          sha256 = "1md7jsfd8pa45z73bz1kszpp01yw6x5ljkjk2hx7wl800any6465";
        };
        inherit perl;
      }
      ```

      It is even possible for one file to refer to another, e.g.,

      ```nix
      builder = let
        configFile = builtins.toFile "foo.conf" "
          # This is some dummy configuration file.
          ...
        ";
      in builtins.toFile "builder.sh" "
        source $stdenv/setup
        ...
        cp ${configFile} $out/etc/foo.conf
      ";
      ```

      Note that `${configFile}` is an
      [antiquotation](language-values.md), so the result of the
      expression `configFile`
      (i.e., a path like `/nix/store/m7p7jfny445k...-foo.conf`) will be
      spliced into the resulting string.

      It is however *not* allowed to have files mutually referring to each
      other, like so:

      ```nix
      let
        foo = builtins.toFile "foo" "...${bar}...";
        bar = builtins.toFile "bar" "...${foo}...";
      in foo
      ```

      This is not allowed because it would cause a cyclic dependency in
      the computation of the cryptographic hashes for `foo` and `bar`.

      It is also not possible to reference the result of a derivation. If
      you are using Nixpkgs, the `writeTextFile` function is able to do
      that.

      This function allows you to copy sources into the Nix store while
      filtering certain files. For instance, suppose that you want to use
      the directory `source-dir` as an input to a Nix expression, e.g.

      ```nix
      stdenv.mkDerivation {
        ...
        src = ./source-dir;
      }
      ```

      However, if `source-dir` is a Subversion working copy, then all
      those annoying `.svn` subdirectories will also be copied to the
      store. Worse, the contents of those directories may change a lot,
      causing lots of spurious rebuilds. With `filterSource` you can
      filter out the `.svn` directories:

      ```nix
      src = builtins.filterSource
        (path: type: type != "directory" || baseNameOf path != ".svn")
        ./source-dir;
      ```

      Thus, the first argument *e1* must be a predicate function that is
      called for each regular file, directory or symlink in the source
      tree *e2*. If the function returns `true`, the file is copied to the
      Nix store, otherwise it is omitted. The function is called with two
      arguments. The first is the full path of the file. The second is a
      string that identifies the type of the file, which is either
      `"regular"`, `"directory"`, `"symlink"` or `"unknown"` (for other
      kinds of files such as device nodes or fifos — but note that those
      cannot be copied to the Nix store, so if the predicate returns
      `true` for them, the copy will fail). If you exclude a directory,
      the entire corresponding subtree of *e2* will be excluded.
