This allows a Nix expression to fall back gracefully on older Nix
installations that don’t have the desired built-in function.
However, in that case you should not write
<programlisting>
if builtins ? getEnv then __getEnv "PATH" else ""</programlisting>
This Nix expression will trigger an “undefined variable” error on
older Nix versions since <function>__getEnv</function> doesn’t
exist. <literal>builtins.getEnv</literal>, on the other hand, is
safe since <literal>builtins</literal> always exists and attribute
selection is lazy, so it’s only performed if the test
succeeds.</para></listitem>

So if you call this Nix expression (e.g., when you do
<literal>nix-env -i <replaceable>pkgname</replaceable></literal>),
the function will be called automatically using the value <link
linkend='builtin-currentSystem'><literal>__currentSystem</literal></link>
linkend='builtin-currentSystem'><literal>builtins.currentSystem</literal></link>
for the <literal>system</literal> argument. You can override this
using <option>--arg</option>, e.g., <literal>nix-env -i
<replaceable>pkgname</replaceable> --arg system
