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.
