## Making changes to Nix
1. Check for [pull requests](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pulls) that might already cover the contribution you are about to make.
There are many open pull requests that might already do what you intent to work on.
1. Search for related issues that cover what you're going to work on.
It could help to mention there that you will work on the issue.
Issues labeled [good first issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels/good%20first%20issue) should be relatively easy to fix and are likely to get merged quickly.
Pull requests addressing issues labeled [idea approved](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels/idea%20approved) or [RFC](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels/RFC) are especially welcomed by maintainers and will receive prioritised review.
If you are proficient with C++, addressing one of the [popular issues](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc) will be highly appreciated by maintainers and Nix users all over the world.
For far-reaching changes, please investigate possible blockers and design implications, and coordinate with maintainers before investing too much time in writing code that may not end up getting merged.
If there is no relevant issue yet and you're not sure whether your change is likely to be accepted, [open an issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/new/choose) yourself.
2. Check for [pull requests](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pulls) that might already cover the contribution you are about to make.
There are many open pull requests that might already do what you intend to work on.

5. [Create a pull request](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request) for your changes.
* [Mark the pull request as draft](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/changing-the-stage-of-a-pull-request) if you're not done with the changes.
* Clearly explain the problem that you're solving.
Link related issues to inform interested parties and future contributors about your change.
If your pull request closes one or multiple issues, mention that in the description using `Closes: #<number>`, as it will then happen automatically when your change is merged.
* Make sure to have [a clean history of commits on your branch by using rebase](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-rebase-and-update-a-pull-request).

6. Do not expect your pull request to be reviewed immediately.
Nix maintainers follow a [structured process for reviews and design decisions](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/tree/master/maintainers#project-board-protocol), which may or may not prioritise your work.
Following this checklist will make the process smoother for everyone:
- [ ] Fixes an [idea approved](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels/idea%20approved) issue
- [ ] Tests, as appropriate:
- Functional tests – [`tests/functional/**.sh`](./tests/functional)
- Unit tests – [`src/*/tests`](./src/)
- Integration tests – [`tests/nixos/*`](./tests/nixos)
- [ ] User documentation in the [manual](..doc/manual/src)
- [ ] API documentation in header files
- [ ] Code and comments are self-explanatory
- [ ] Commit message explains **why** the change was made
- [ ] New feature or incompatible change: updated [release notes](./doc/manual/src/release-notes/rl-next.md)
7. If you need additional feedback or help to getting pull request into shape, ask other contributors using [@mentions](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#mentioning-people-and-teams).

The install operation creates a new user environment.
It is based on the current generation of the active [profile](@docroot@/command-ref/files/profiles.md), to which a set of [store paths] described by *args* is added.
- By default, *args* is a set of derivation names denoting derivations
in the active Nix expression. These are realised, and the resulting
output paths are installed. Currently installed derivations with a
name equal to the name of a derivation being added are removed
unless the option `--preserve-installed` is specified.

The arguments *args* map to store paths in a number of possible ways:

If there are multiple derivations matching a name in *args* that
have the same name (e.g., `gcc-3.3.6` and `gcc-4.1.1`), then the
derivation with the highest *priority* is used. A derivation can
define a priority by declaring the `meta.priority` attribute. This
attribute should be a number, with a higher value denoting a lower
priority. The default priority is `0`.

- If `--from-expression` is given, *args* are Nix

that are called with the active Nix expression as their single
argument. The derivations returned by those function calls are
installed. This allows derivations to be specified in an
unambiguous way, which is necessary if there are multiple

are installed.
- If *args* are [store derivations](@docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-derivation), then these are [realised], and the resulting output paths are installed.
- If *args* are store paths that are not store derivations, then these
are [realised](@docroot@/command-ref/nix-store/realise.md) and installed.
- If *args* are [store paths] that are not store derivations, then these are [realised] and installed.
- By default all outputs are installed for each derivation. That can
be reduced by setting `meta.outputsToInstall`.
- By default all [outputs](@docroot@/language/derivations.md#attr-outputs) are installed for each [derivation].
This can be overridden by adding a `meta.outputsToInstall` attribute on the derivation listing a subset of the output names.

The file `example.nix` defines a derivation with two outputs `foo` and `bar`, each containing a file.
```nix
# example.nix
let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};

echo foo > $foo/foo-file
echo bar > $bar/bar-file

builder = "${pkgs.bash}/bin/bash";
args = [ "-c" command ];
outputs = [ "foo" "bar" ];
system = builtins.currentSystem;

```
Installing from this Nix expression will make files from both outputs appear in the current profile.
```console
$ nix-env --install --file example.nix

Adding `meta.outputsToInstall` to that derivation will make `nix-env` only install files from the specified outputs.
```nix
# example-outputs.nix
import ./example.nix // { meta.outputsToInstall = [ "bar" ]; }

# Synopsis
@ -8,33 +8,39 @@
# Description
The operation `--realise` essentially “builds” the specified store
paths. Realisation is a somewhat overloaded term:
- If the store path is a *derivation*, realisation ensures that the
output paths of the derivation are [valid] (i.e.,
the output path and its closure exist in the file system). This
can be done in several ways. First, it is possible that the
outputs are already valid, in which case we are done
immediately. Otherwise, there may be [substitutes]
that produce the outputs (e.g., by downloading them). Finally, the
outputs can be produced by running the build task described
by the derivation.
Each of *paths* is processed as follows:
- If the store path is not a derivation, realisation ensures that the
specified path is valid (i.e., it and its closure exist in the file
system). If the path is already valid, we are done immediately.
Otherwise, the path and any missing paths in its closure may be
produced through substitutes. If there are no (successful)
substitutes, realisation fails.
- If the path leads to a [store derivation]:
1. If it is not [valid], substitute the store derivation file itself.
2. Realise its [output paths]:
- Try to fetch from [substituters] the [store objects] associated with the output paths in the store derivation's [closure].
- With [content-addressed derivations] (experimental):
Determine the output paths to realise by querying content-addressed realisation entries in the [Nix database].
- For any store paths that cannot be substituted, produce the required store objects:
1. Realise all outputs of the derivation's dependencies
2. Run the derivation's [`builder`](@docroot@/language/derivations.md#attr-builder) executable
<!-- TODO: Link to build process page #8888 -->
- Otherwise, and if the path is not already valid: Try to fetch the associated [store objects] in the path's [closure] from [substituters].
If no substitutes are available and no store derivation is given, realisation fails.

configuration setting, which itself defaults to `1`. A higher
value is useful on SMP systems or to exploit I/O latency.
Decreases the level of verbosity of diagnostic messages printed on standard error.
This is the inverse option to `-v` / `--verbose`.
Setting it to `0` disallows building on the local machine, which is
useful when you want builds to happen only on remote builders.
This option may be specified repeatedly.
See the previous verbosity levels list.
- <span id="opt-cores">[`--cores`](#opt-cores)</span>\
Sets the value of the `NIX_BUILD_CORES` environment variable in
the invocation of builders. Builders can use this variable at
their discretion to control the maximum amount of parallelism. For
instance, in Nixpkgs, if the derivation attribute
`enableParallelBuilding` is set to `true`, the builder passes the
`-jN` flag to GNU Make. It defaults to the value of the `cores`
configuration setting, if set, or `1` otherwise. The value `0`
means that the builder should use all available CPU cores in the
system.
- <span id="opt-log-format">[`--log-format`](#opt-log-format)</span> *format*
- <span id="opt-max-silent-time">[`--max-silent-time`](#opt-max-silent-time)</span>\
Sets the maximum number of seconds that a builder can go without
producing any data on standard output or standard error. The
default is specified by the `max-silent-time` configuration
setting. `0` means no time-out.
This option can be used to change the output of the log format, with *format* being one of:

Sets the maximum number of seconds that a builder can run. The
default is specified by the `timeout` configuration setting. `0`
means no timeout.
- `raw`
- <span id="opt-keep-going">[`--keep-going`](#opt-keep-going)</span> / `-k`\
Keep going in case of failed builds, to the greatest extent
possible. That is, if building an input of some derivation fails,
Nix will still build the other inputs, but not the derivation
itself. Without this option, Nix stops if any build fails (except
for builds of substitutes), possibly killing builds in progress (in
case of parallel or distributed builds).
This is the raw format, as outputted by nix-build.
- <span id="opt-keep-failed">[`--keep-failed`](#opt-keep-failed)</span> / `-K`\
Specifies that in case of a build failure, the temporary directory
(usually in `/tmp`) in which the build takes place should not be
deleted. The path of the build directory is printed as an
informational message.
- `internal-json`
- <span id="opt-fallback">[`--fallback`](#opt-fallback)</span>\
Whenever Nix attempts to build a derivation for which substitutes
are known for each output path, but realising the output paths
through the substitutes fails, fall back on building the derivation.
Outputs the logs in a structured manner.
The most common scenario in which this is useful is when we have
registered substitutes in order to perform binary distribution from,
say, a network repository. If the repository is down, the
realisation of the derivation will fail. When this option is
specified, Nix will build the derivation instead. Thus, installation
from binaries falls back on installation from source. This option is
not the default since it is generally not desirable for a transient
failure in obtaining the substitutes to lead to a full build from
source (with the related consumption of resources).

- <span id="opt-readonly-mode">[`--readonly-mode`](#opt-readonly-mode)</span>\
When this option is used, no attempt is made to open the Nix
database. Most Nix operations do need database access, so those
operations will fail.
- `bar`
- <span id="opt-arg">[`--arg`](#opt-arg)</span> *name* *value*\
This option is accepted by `nix-env`, `nix-instantiate`,
`nix-shell` and `nix-build`. When evaluating Nix expressions, the
expression evaluator will automatically try to call functions that
it encounters. It can automatically call functions for which every
argument has a [default
value](@docroot@/language/constructs.md#functions) (e.g.,
`{ argName ? defaultValue }: ...`). With `--arg`, you can also
call functions that have arguments without a default value (or
override a default value). That is, if the evaluator encounters a
function with an argument named *name*, it will call it with value
*value*.
Only display a progress bar during the builds.
For instance, the top-level `default.nix` in Nixpkgs is actually a
function:
- `bar-with-logs`
```nix
{ # The system (e.g., `i686-linux') for which to build the packages.
system ? builtins.currentSystem
...
}: ...
```
Display the raw logs, with the progress bar at the bottom.
So if you call this Nix expression (e.g., when you do `nix-env --install --attr
pkgname`), the function will be called automatically using the
value [`builtins.currentSystem`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md) for
the `system` argument. You can override this using `--arg`, e.g.,
`nix-env --install --attr pkgname --arg system \"i686-freebsd\"`. (Note that
since the argument is a Nix string literal, you have to escape the
quotes.)
- <span id="opt-no-build-output">[`--no-build-output`](#opt-no-build-output)</span> / `-Q`
- <span id="opt-argstr">[`--argstr`](#opt-argstr)</span> *name* *value*\
This option is like `--arg`, only the value is not a Nix
expression but a string. So instead of `--arg system
\"i686-linux\"` (the outer quotes are to keep the shell happy) you
can say `--argstr system i686-linux`.
By default, output written by builders to standard output and standard error is echoed to the Nix command's standard error.
This option suppresses this behaviour.
Note that the builder's standard output and error are always written to a log file in `prefix/nix/var/log/nix`.
- <span id="opt-attr">[`--attr`](#opt-attr)</span> / `-A` *attrPath*\
Select an attribute from the top-level Nix expression being
evaluated. (`nix-env`, `nix-instantiate`, `nix-build` and
`nix-shell` only.) The *attribute path* *attrPath* is a sequence
of attribute names separated by dots. For instance, given a
top-level Nix expression *e*, the attribute path `xorg.xorgserver`
would cause the expression `e.xorg.xorgserver` to be used. See
[`nix-env --install`](@docroot@/command-ref/nix-env/install.md) for some
concrete examples.
- <span id="opt-max-jobs">[`--max-jobs`](#opt-max-jobs)</span> / `-j` *number*
In addition to attribute names, you can also specify array indices.
For instance, the attribute path `foo.3.bar` selects the `bar`
attribute of the fourth element of the array in the `foo` attribute
of the top-level expression.
Sets the maximum number of build jobs that Nix will perform in parallel to the specified number.
Specify `auto` to use the number of CPUs in the system.
The default is specified by the `max-jobs` configuration setting, which itself defaults to `1`.
A higher value is useful on SMP systems or to exploit I/O latency.
- <span id="opt-expr">[`--expr`](#opt-expr)</span> / `-E`\
Interpret the command line arguments as a list of Nix expressions to
be parsed and evaluated, rather than as a list of file names of Nix
expressions. (`nix-instantiate`, `nix-build` and `nix-shell` only.)
Setting it to `0` disallows building on the local machine, which is useful when you want builds to happen only on remote builders.
For `nix-shell`, this option is commonly used to give you a shell in
which you can build the packages returned by the expression. If you
want to get a shell which contain the *built* packages ready for
use, give your expression to the `nix-shell --packages ` convenience flag
instead.
- <span id="opt-cores">[`--cores`](#opt-cores)</span>
- <span id="opt-I">[`-I`](#opt-I)</span> *path*\
Add an entry to the [Nix expression search path](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-nix-path).
This option may be given multiple times.
Paths added through `-I` take precedence over [`NIX_PATH`](@docroot@/command-ref/env-common.md#env-NIX_PATH).
Sets the value of the `NIX_BUILD_CORES` environment variable in the invocation of builders.
Builders can use this variable at their discretion to control the maximum amount of parallelism.
For instance, in Nixpkgs, if the derivation attribute `enableParallelBuilding` is set to `true`, the builder passes the `-jN` flag to GNU Make.
It defaults to the value of the `cores` configuration setting, if set, or `1` otherwise.
The value `0` means that the builder should use all available CPU cores in the system.
- <span id="opt-option">[`--option`](#opt-option)</span> *name* *value*\
Set the Nix configuration option *name* to *value*. This overrides
settings in the Nix configuration file (see nix.conf5).
- <span id="opt-max-silent-time">[`--max-silent-time`](#opt-max-silent-time)</span>
- <span id="opt-repair">[`--repair`](#opt-repair)</span>\
Fix corrupted or missing store paths by redownloading or rebuilding
them. Note that this is slow because it requires computing a
cryptographic hash of the contents of every path in the closure of
the build. Also note the warning under `nix-store --repair-path`.
Sets the maximum number of seconds that a builder can go without producing any data on standard output or standard error.
The default is specified by the `max-silent-time` configuration setting.
`0` means no time-out.
- <span id="opt-timeout">[`--timeout`](#opt-timeout)</span>
Sets the maximum number of seconds that a builder can run.
The default is specified by the `timeout` configuration setting.
`0` means no timeout.
- <span id="opt-keep-going">[`--keep-going`](#opt-keep-going)</span> / `-k`
Keep going in case of failed builds, to the greatest extent possible.
That is, if building an input of some derivation fails, Nix will still build the other inputs, but not the derivation itself.
Without this option, Nix stops if any build fails (except for builds of substitutes), possibly killing builds in progress (in case of parallel or distributed builds).
- <span id="opt-keep-failed">[`--keep-failed`](#opt-keep-failed)</span> / `-K`
Specifies that in case of a build failure, the temporary directory (usually in `/tmp`) in which the build takes place should not be deleted.
The path of the build directory is printed as an informational message.

(`nix-instantiate`, `nix-build` and `nix-shell` only.)
For `nix-shell`, this option is commonly used to give you a shell in which you can build the packages returned by the expression.
If you want to get a shell which contain the *built* packages ready for use, give your expression to the `nix-shell --packages ` convenience flag instead.
- <span id="opt-I">[`-I`](#opt-I)</span> *path*
Add an entry to the [Nix expression search path](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-nix-path).
This option may be given multiple times.
Paths added through `-I` take precedence over [`NIX_PATH`](@docroot@/command-ref/env-common.md#env-NIX_PATH).
- <span id="opt-option">[`--option`](#opt-option)</span> *name* *value*
Set the Nix configuration option *name* to *value*.
This overrides settings in the Nix configuration file (see nix.conf5).
- <span id="opt-repair">[`--repair`](#opt-repair)</span>
Fix corrupted or missing store paths by redownloading or rebuilding them.
Note that this is slow because it requires computing a cryptographic hash of the contents of every path in the closure of the build.
Also note the warning under `nix-store --repair-path`.
> **Note**

# Contributing
# Development
Nix is developed on GitHub.
Check the [contributing guide](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) if you want to get involved.
This chapter is a collection of guides for making changes to the code and documentation.
If you're not sure where to start, try to [compile Nix from source](./hacking.md) and consider [making improvements to documentation](./documentation.md).

# Contributing documentation
Improvements to documentation are very much appreciated, and a good way to start out with contributing to Nix.
This is how you can help:
- Address [open issues with documentation](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Adocumentation)
- Review [pull requests concerning documentation](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+label%3Adocumentation)
Incremental refactorings of the documentation build setup to make it faster or easier to understand and maintain are also welcome.
## Building the manual
Build the manual from scratch:
```console
nix-build $(nix-instantiate)'!doc'
```
or
```console
nix build .#^doc
```
and open `./result-doc/share/doc/nix/manual/index.html`.
To build the manual incrementally, [enter the development shell](./hacking.md) and run:
```console
make manual-html -j $NIX_BUILD_CORES
```
and open `./outputs/out/share/doc/nix/manual/language/index.html`.
In order to reflect changes to the [Makefile for the manual], clear all generated files before re-building:
[Makefile for the manual]: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/doc/manual/local.mk
```console
rm $(git ls-files doc/manual/ -o | grep -F '.md') && rmdir doc/manual/src/command-ref/new-cli && make manual-html -j $NIX_BUILD_CORES
```
## Style guide
The goal of this style guide is to make it such that
- The manual is easy to search and skim for relevant information
- Documentation sources are easy to edit
- Changes to documentation are easy to review
You will notice that this is not implemented consistently yet.
Please follow the guide when making additions or changes to existing documentation.
Do not make sweeping changes, unless they are programmatic and can be validated easily.
### Language
This manual is [reference documentation](https://diataxis.fr/reference/).
The typical usage pattern is to look up isolated pieces of information.
It should therefore aim to be correct, consistent, complete, and easy to navigate at a glance.
- Aim for clarity and brevity.
Please take the time to read the [plain language guidelines](https://www.plainlanguage.gov/guidelines/) for details.
- Describe the subject factually.
In particular, do not make value judgements or recommendations.
Check the code or add tests if in doubt.
- Provide complete, minimal examples, and explain them.
Readers should be able to try examples verbatim and get the same results as shown in the manual.
Always describe in words what a given example does.
Non-trivial examples may need additional explanation, especially if they use concepts from outside the given context.
- Use British English.
This is a somewhat arbitrary choice to force consistency, and accounts for the fact that a majority of Nix users and developers are from Europe.
### Links and anchors
Reference documentation must be readable in arbitrary order.
Readers cannot be expected to have any particular prerequisite knowledge about Nix.
While the table of contents can provide guidance and full-text search can help, they are most likely to find what they need by following sensible cross-references.
- Link to technical terms
When mentioning Nix-specific concepts, commands, options, settings, etc., link to appropriate documentation.
Also link to external tools or concepts, especially if their meaning may be ambiguous.
You may also want to link to definitions of less common technical terms.
Then readers won't have to actively search for definitions and are more likely to discover relevant information on their own.
> **Note**
>
> `man` and `--help` pages don't display links.
> Use appropriate link texts such that readers of terminal output can infer search terms.
- Do not break existing URLs between releases.
There are countless links in the wild pointing to old versions of the manual.
We want people to find up-to-date documentation when following popular advice.
- When moving files, update [redirects on nixos.org](https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/blob/master/netlify.toml).
This is especially important when moving information out of the Nix manual to other resources.
- When changing anchors, update [client-side redirects](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/doc/manual/redirects.js)
The current setup is cumbersome, and help making better automation is appreciated.

[`mdbook-linkcheck`]: https://github.com/Michael-F-Bryan/mdbook-linkcheck
[URI fragments]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI_fragment
### Markdown conventions
The manual is written in markdown, and rendered with [mdBook](https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook) for the web and with [lowdown](https://github.com/kristapsdz/lowdown) for `man` pages and `--help` output.
For supported markdown features, refer to:
- [mdBook documentation](https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/format/markdown.html)
- [lowdown documentation](https://kristaps.bsd.lv/lowdown/)
Please observe these guidelines to ease reviews:
- Write one sentence per line.
This makes long sentences immediately visible, and makes it easier to review changes and make direct suggestions.
- Use reference links – sparingly – to ease source readability.
Put definitions close to their first use.
Example:
```
A [store object] contains a [file system object] and [references] to other store objects.
[store object]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-object
[file system object]: @docroot@/architecture/file-system-object.md
[references]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-reference
```
- Use admonitions of the following form:
```
> **Note**
>
> This is a note.
```
### The `@docroot@` variable
`@docroot@` provides a base path for links that occur in reusable snippets or other documentation that doesn't have a base path of its own.
If a broken link occurs in a snippet that was inserted into multiple generated files in different directories, use `@docroot@` to reference the `doc/manual/src` directory.
If the `@docroot@` literal appears in an error message from the [`mdbook-linkcheck`] tool, the `@docroot@` replacement needs to be applied to the generated source file that mentions it.
See existing `@docroot@` logic in the [Makefile for the manual].
Regular markdown files used for the manual have a base path of their own and they can use relative paths instead of `@docroot@`.

## 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/) and
[rapidcheck](https://github.com/emil-e/rapidcheck) frameworks.
The unit tests are defined using the [googletest] and [rapidcheck] frameworks.
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.

### Source and header layout

The unit tests for each Nix library (`libnixexpr`, `libnixstore`, etc..) live inside a directory `src/${library_shortname}/tests` within the directory for the library (`src/${library_shortname}`).
The data is in `unit-test-data`, with one subdir per library, with the same name as where the code goes.
For example, `libnixstore` code is in `src/libstore`, and its test data is in `unit-test-data/libstore`.
The path to the `unit-test-data` directory is passed to the unit test executable with the environment variable `_NIX_TEST_UNIT_DATA`.
> **Note**
> Due to the way googletest works, downstream unit test executables will actually include and re-run upstream library tests.
> Therefore it is important that the same value for `_NIX_TEST_UNIT_DATA` be used with the tests for each library.
> That is why we have the test data nested within a single `unit-test-data` directory.
### Running tests
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, or the `GTEST_FILTER` environment variable.
### Characterisation testing { #characaterisation-testing-unit }
See [functional characterisation testing](#characterisation-testing-functional) for a broader discussion of characterisation testing.
Like with the functional characterisation, `_NIX_TEST_ACCEPT=1` is also used.
For example:
```shell-session
$ _NIX_TEST_ACCEPT=1 make libstore-tests-exe_RUN
...
[ SKIPPED ] WorkerProtoTest.string_read
[ SKIPPED ] WorkerProtoTest.string_write
[ SKIPPED ] WorkerProtoTest.storePath_read
[ SKIPPED ] WorkerProtoTest.storePath_write
...
```
will regenerate the "golden master" expected result for the `libnixstore` characterisation tests.
The characterisation tests will mark themselves "skipped" since they regenerated the expected result instead of actually testing anything.
## Functional tests
The functional tests reside under the `tests` directory and are listed in `tests/local.mk`.

### Characterization testing
### Troubleshooting
Occasionally, Nix utilizes a technique called [Characterization Testing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characterization_test) as part of the functional tests.
Sometimes running tests in the development shell may leave artefacts in the local repository.
To remove any traces of that:
```console
git clean -x --force tests
```
### Characterisation testing { #characterisation-testing-functional }
Occasionally, Nix utilizes a technique called [Characterisation Testing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characterization_test) as part of the functional tests.
This technique is to include the exact output/behavior of a former version of Nix in a test in order to check that Nix continues to produce the same behavior going forward.
For example, this technique is used for the language tests, to check both the printed final value if evaluation was successful, and any errors and warnings encountered.
It is frequently useful to regenerate the expected output.
To do that, rerun the failed test with `_NIX_TEST_ACCEPT=1`.
(At least, this is the convention we've used for `tests/lang.sh`.
If we add more characterization testing we should always strive to be consistent.)
To do that, rerun the failed test(s) with `_NIX_TEST_ACCEPT=1`.
For example:
```bash
_NIX_TEST_ACCEPT=1 make tests/functional/lang.sh.test
```
This convention is shared with the [characterisation unit tests](#characterisation-testing-unit) too.
An interesting situation to document is the case when these tests are "overfitted".
The language tests are, again, an example of this.

By recording the expected output, the test suite guards against accidental changes, and ensure the *result* (not just the code that implements it) of the diagnostic code paths are under code review.
Regressions are caught, and improvements always show up in code review.
To ensure that characterization testing doesn't make it harder to intentionally change these interfaces, there always must be an easy way to regenerate the expected output, as we do with `_NIX_TEST_ACCEPT=1`.

# Glossary
- [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](./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-store-derivation}\
A [derivation] represented as a `.drv` file in the [store].
It has a [store path], like any [store object].

Ensure a [store path] is [valid][validity].
Translate a [derivation] into a [store derivation].
This means either running the `builder` executable as specified in the corresponding [derivation] or fetching a pre-built [store object] from a [substituter].
See [`nix-instantiate`](./command-ref/nix-instantiate.md).
See [`nix-build`](./command-ref/nix-build.md) and [`nix-store --realise`](@docroot@/command-ref/nix-store/realise.md).

- [content-addressed derivation]{#gloss-content-addressed-derivation}\
A derivation which has the
[`__contentAddressed`](./language/advanced-attributes.md#adv-attr-__contentAddressed)
attribute set to `true`.
This can be achieved by:
- Fetching a pre-built [store object] from a [substituter]
- Running the [`builder`](@docroot@/language/derivations.md#attr-builder) executable as specified in the corresponding [derivation]
- Delegating to a [remote builder](@docroot@/advanced-topics/distributed-builds.html) and retrieving the outputs
<!-- TODO: link [running] to build process page, #8888 -->
- [fixed-output derivation]{#gloss-fixed-output-derivation}\
A derivation which includes the
[`outputHash`](./language/advanced-attributes.md#adv-attr-outputHash) attribute.
See [`nix-store --realise`](@docroot@/command-ref/nix-store/realise.md) for a detailed description of the algorithm.
- [store]{#gloss-store}\
The location in the file system where store objects live. Typically
`/nix/store`.
See also [`nix-build`](./command-ref/nix-build.md) and [`nix build`](./command-ref/new-cli/nix3-build.md) (experimental).
From the perspective of the location where Nix is
invoked, the Nix store can be referred to
as a "_local_" or a "_remote_" one:
[realise]: #gloss-realise
+ A [local store]{#gloss-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.
- [content-addressed derivation]{#gloss-content-addressed-derivation}
+ 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.
A derivation which has the
[`__contentAddressed`](./language/advanced-attributes.md#adv-attr-__contentAddressed)
attribute set to `true`.
[store]: #gloss-store
[local store]: #gloss-local-store
- [fixed-output derivation]{#gloss-fixed-output-derivation}
- [chroot store]{#gloss-chroot-store}\
A [local store] whose canonical path is anything other than `/nix/store`.
A derivation which includes the
[`outputHash`](./language/advanced-attributes.md#adv-attr-outputHash) attribute.
- [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]{#gloss-store}
- [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.
The location in the file system where store objects live. Typically
`/nix/store`.
Example: `/nix/store/a040m110amc4h71lds2jmr8qrkj2jhxd-git-2.38.1`
From the perspective of the location where Nix is
invoked, the Nix store can be referred to
as a "_local_" or a "_remote_" one:
[store path]: #gloss-store-path
+ A [local store]{#gloss-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.
- [file system object]{#gloss-store-object}\
The Nix data model for representing simplified file system data.
+ 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.
See [File System Object](@docroot@/architecture/file-system-object.md) for details.
[store]: #gloss-store
[local store]: #gloss-local-store
[file system object]: #gloss-file-system-object
- [chroot store]{#gloss-chroot-store}
- [store object]{#gloss-store-object}\
A [local store] whose canonical path is anything other than `/nix/store`.
A store object consists of a [file system object], [reference]s to other store objects, and other metadata.
It can be referred to by a [store path].
- [binary cache]{#gloss-binary-cache}
[store object]: #gloss-store-object
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).
- [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.
- [store path]{#gloss-store-path}
- [output-addressed store object]{#gloss-output-addressed-store-object}\
A [store object] whose [store path] is determined by its contents.
This includes derivations, the outputs of [content-addressed derivations](#gloss-content-addressed-derivation), and the outputs of [fixed-output derivations](#gloss-fixed-output-derivation).
The location of a [store object] in the file system, i.e., an
immediate child of the Nix store directory.
- [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.
Example: `/nix/store/a040m110amc4h71lds2jmr8qrkj2jhxd-git-2.38.1`
- [substituter]{#gloss-substituter}\
An additional [store]{#gloss-store} from which Nix can obtain store objects instead of building them.
Often the substituter is a [binary cache](#gloss-binary-cache), but any store can serve as substituter.
[store path]: #gloss-store-path
See the [`substituters` configuration option](./command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-substituters) for details.
- [file system object]{#gloss-store-object}
[substituter]: #gloss-substituter
The Nix data model for representing simplified file system data.
- [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.
See [File System Object](@docroot@/architecture/file-system-object.md) for details.
- [Nix database]{#gloss-nix-database}\
An SQlite database to track [reference]s between [store object]s.
This is an implementation detail of the [local store].
[file system object]: #gloss-file-system-object
Default location: `/nix/var/nix/db`.
- [store object]{#gloss-store-object}
[Nix database]: #gloss-nix-database
A store object consists of a [file system object], [reference]s to other store objects, and other metadata.
It can be referred to by a [store path].
- [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.
[store object]: #gloss-store-object
- [reference]{#gloss-reference}\
A [store object] `O` is said to have a *reference* to a store object `P` if a [store path] to `P` appears in the contents of `O`.
- [IFD]{#gloss-ifd}
Store objects can refer to both other store objects and themselves.
References from a store object to itself are called *self-references*.
References other than a self-reference must not form a cycle.

is in the *closure* of the *references* relation.
A store object produced by building a
non-[content-addressed](#gloss-content-addressed-derivation),
non-[fixed-output](#gloss-fixed-output-derivation)
derivation.
- [closure]{#gloss-closure}\
The closure of a store path is the set of store paths that are
directly or indirectly “reachable” from that store path; that is,
it’s the closure of the path under the *references* relation. For
a package, the closure of its derivation is equivalent to the
build-time dependencies, while the closure of its output path is
equivalent to its runtime dependencies. For correct deployment it
is necessary to deploy whole closures, since otherwise at runtime
files could be missing. The command `nix-store --query --requisites ` prints out
closures of store paths.
- [output-addressed store object]{#gloss-output-addressed-store-object}
As an example, if the [store object] at path `P` contains a [reference]
to a store object at path `Q`, then `Q` is in the closure of `P`. Further, if `Q`
references `R` then `R` is also in the closure of `P`.
A [store object] whose [store path] is determined by its contents.
This includes derivations, the outputs of [content-addressed derivations](#gloss-content-addressed-derivation), and the outputs of [fixed-output derivations](#gloss-fixed-output-derivation).

- [substituter]{#gloss-substituter}
- [deriver]{#gloss-deriver}\
The [store derivation] that produced an [output path].

- [validity]{#gloss-validity}\
A store path is valid if all [store object]s in its [closure] can be read from the [store].
See the [`substituters` configuration option](./command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-substituters) for details.
For a [local store], this means:
- The store path leads to an existing [store object] in that [store].
- The store path is listed in the [Nix database] as being valid.
- All paths in the store path's [closure] are valid.
[substituter]: #gloss-substituter

The empty set symbol. In the context of profile history, this denotes a package is not present in a particular version of the profile.
- [Nix expression]{#gloss-nix-expression}
- [`ε`]{#gloss-epsilon}\
The epsilon symbol. In the context of a package, this means the version is empty. More precisely, the derivation does not have a version attribute.

# Derivations
The most important built-in function is `derivation`, which is used to
describe a single derivation (a build task). It takes as input a set,
the attributes of which specify the inputs of the build.
The most important built-in function is `derivation`, which is used to describe a single derivation:
a specification for running an executable on precisely defined input files to repeatably produce output files at uniquely determined file system paths.
- There must be an attribute named [`system`]{#attr-system} whose value must be a
string specifying a Nix system type, such as `"i686-linux"` or
`"x86_64-darwin"`. (To figure out your system type, run `nix -vv
--version`.) The build can only be performed on a machine and
operating system matching the system type. (Nix can automatically
[forward builds for other
platforms](../advanced-topics/distributed-builds.md) by forwarding
them to other machines.)
It takes as input an attribute set, the attributes of which specify the inputs to the process.
It outputs an attribute set, and produces a [store derivation] as a side effect of evaluation.
- There must be an attribute named `name` whose value must be a
string. This is used as a symbolic name for the package by
`nix-env`, and it is appended to the output paths of the derivation.
[store derivation]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-derivation
- There must be an attribute named `builder` that identifies the
program that is executed to perform the build. It can be either a
derivation or a source (a local file reference, e.g.,
`./builder.sh`).
## Input attributes
- Every attribute is passed as an environment variable to the builder.
Attribute values are translated to environment variables as follows:
- Strings and numbers are just passed verbatim.
- A *path* (e.g., `../foo/sources.tar`) causes the referenced file
to be copied to the store; its location in the store is put in
the environment variable. The idea is that all sources should
reside in the Nix store, since all inputs to a derivation should
reside in the Nix store.
- A *derivation* causes that derivation to be built prior to the
present derivation; its default output path is put in the
environment variable.
- Lists of the previous types are also allowed. They are simply
concatenated, separated by spaces.
- `true` is passed as the string `1`, `false` and `null` are
passed as an empty string.
### Required
- The optional attribute `args` specifies command-line arguments to be
passed to the builder. It should be a list.
- [`name`]{#attr-name} ([String](@docroot@/language/values.md#type-string))
- The optional attribute `outputs` specifies a list of symbolic
outputs of the derivation. By default, a derivation produces a
single output path, denoted as `out`. However, derivations can
produce multiple output paths. This is useful because it allows
outputs to be downloaded or garbage-collected separately. For
instance, imagine a library package that provides a dynamic library,
header files, and documentation. A program that links against the
library doesn’t need the header files and documentation at runtime,
and it doesn’t need the documentation at build time. Thus, the
library package could specify:
```nix
outputs = [ "lib" "headers" "doc" ];
```
This will cause Nix to pass environment variables `lib`, `headers`
and `doc` to the builder containing the intended store paths of each
output. The builder would typically do something like
```bash
./configure \
--libdir=$lib/lib \
--includedir=$headers/include \
--docdir=$doc/share/doc
```
for an Autoconf-style package. You can refer to each output of a
derivation by selecting it as an attribute, e.g.
```nix
buildInputs = [ pkg.lib pkg.headers ];
```
The first element of `outputs` determines the *default output*.
Thus, you could also write
```nix
buildInputs = [ pkg pkg.headers ];
```
since `pkg` is equivalent to `pkg.lib`.
A symbolic name for the derivation.
It is added to the [store path] of the corresponding [store derivation] as well as to its [output paths](@docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-output-path).
The function `mkDerivation` in the Nixpkgs standard environment is a
wrapper around `derivation` that adds a default value for `system` and
always uses Bash as the builder, to which the supplied builder is passed
as a command-line argument. See the Nixpkgs manual for details.
[store path]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-path
The builder is executed as follows:
> **Example**
>
> ```nix
> derivation {
> name = "hello";
> # ...
> }
> ```
>
> The store derivation's path will be `/nix/store/<hash>-hello.drv`.
> The [output](#attr-outputs) paths will be of the form `/nix/store/<hash>-hello[-<output>]`
- A temporary directory is created under the directory specified by
`TMPDIR` (default `/tmp`) where the build will take place. The
current directory is changed to this directory.
- [`system`]{#attr-system} ([String](@docroot@/language/values.md#type-string))
- The environment is cleared and set to the derivation attributes, as
specified above.
The system type on which the [`builder`](#attr-builder) executable is meant to be run.
- In addition, the following variables are set:
- `NIX_BUILD_TOP` contains the path of the temporary directory for
this build.
- Also, `TMPDIR`, `TEMPDIR`, `TMP`, `TEMP` are set to point to the
temporary directory. This is to prevent the builder from
accidentally writing temporary files anywhere else. Doing so
might cause interference by other processes.
- `PATH` is set to `/path-not-set` to prevent shells from
initialising it to their built-in default value.
- `HOME` is set to `/homeless-shelter` to prevent programs from
using `/etc/passwd` or the like to find the user's home
directory, which could cause impurity. Usually, when `HOME` is
set, it is used as the location of the home directory, even if
it points to a non-existent path.
- `NIX_STORE` is set to the path of the top-level Nix store
directory (typically, `/nix/store`).
- For each output declared in `outputs`, the corresponding
environment variable is set to point to the intended path in the
Nix store for that output. Each output path is a concatenation
of the cryptographic hash of all build inputs, the `name`
attribute and the output name. (The output name is omitted if
it’s `out`.)
A necessary condition for Nix to build derivations locally is that the `system` attribute matches the current [`system` configuration option].
It can automatically [build on other platforms](../advanced-topics/distributed-builds.md) by forwarding build requests to other machines.
- If an output path already exists, it is removed. Also, locks are
acquired to prevent multiple Nix instances from performing the same
build at the same time.
[`system` configuration option]: @docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-system
- A log of the combined standard output and error is written to
`/nix/var/log/nix`.
> **Example**
>
> Declare a derivation to be built on a specific system type:
>
> ```nix
> derivation {
> # ...
> system = "x86_64-linux";
> # ...
> }
> ```
- The builder is executed with the arguments specified by the
attribute `args`. If it exits with exit code 0, it is considered to
have succeeded.

them as dependencies of the output paths.
Path to an executable that will perform the build.
- After the build, Nix sets the last-modified timestamp on all files
in the build result to 1 (00:00:01 1/1/1970 UTC), sets the group to
the default group, and sets the mode of the file to 0444 or 0555
(i.e., read-only, with execute permission enabled if the file was
originally executable). Note that possible `setuid` and `setgid`
bits are cleared. Setuid and setgid programs are not currently
supported by Nix. This is because the Nix archives used in
deployment have no concept of ownership information, and because it
makes the build result dependent on the user performing the build.

### Optional
- [`args`]{#attr-args} ([List](@docroot@/language/values.md#list) of [String](@docroot@/language/values.md#type-string))
Default: `[ ]`
Command-line arguments to be passed to the [`builder`](#attr-builder) executable.
> **Example**
>
> Pass arguments to Bash to interpret a shell command:
>
> ```nix
> derivation {
> # ...
> builder = "/bin/bash";
> args = [ "-c" "echo hello world > $out" ];
> # ...
> };
> ```
- [`outputs`]{#attr-outputs} ([List](@docroot@/language/values.md#list) of [String](@docroot@/language/values.md#type-string))
Default: `[ "out" ]`
Symbolic outputs of the derivation.
Each output name is passed to the [`builder`](#attr-builder) executable as an environment variable with its value set to the corresponding [store path].
By default, a derivation produces a single output called `out`.
However, derivations can produce multiple outputs.
This allows the associated [store objects](@docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-object) and their [closures](@docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-closure) to be copied or garbage-collected separately.
> **Example**
>
> Imagine a library package that provides a dynamic library, header files, and documentation.
> A program that links against such a library doesn’t need the header files and documentation at runtime, and it doesn’t need the documentation at build time.
> Thus, the library package could specify:
>
> ```nix
> derivation {
> # ...
> outputs = [ "lib" "dev" "doc" ];
> # ...
> }
> ```
>
> This will cause Nix to pass environment variables `lib`, `dev`, and `doc` to the builder containing the intended store paths of each output.
> The builder would typically do something like
>
> ```bash
> ./configure \
> --libdir=$lib/lib \
> --includedir=$dev/include \
> --docdir=$doc/share/doc
> ```
>
> for an Autoconf-style package.
The name of an output is combined with the name of the derivation to create the name part of the output's store path, unless it is `out`, in which case just the name of the derivation is used.
> **Example**
>
>
> ```nix
> derivation {
> name = "example";
> outputs = [ "lib" "dev" "doc" "out" ];
> # ...
> }
> ```
>
> The store derivation path will be `/nix/store/<hash>-example.drv`.
> The output paths will be
> - `/nix/store/<hash>-example-lib`
> - `/nix/store/<hash>-example-dev`
> - `/nix/store/<hash>-example-doc`
> - `/nix/store/<hash>-example`
You can refer to each output of a derivation by selecting it as an attribute.
The first element of `outputs` determines the *default output* and ends up at the top-level.
> **Example**
>
> Select an output by attribute name:
>
> ```nix
> let
> myPackage = derivation {
> name = "example";
> outputs = [ "lib" "dev" "doc" "out" ];
> # ...
> };
> in myPackage.dev
> ```
>
> Since `lib` is the first output, `myPackage` is equivalent to `myPackage.lib`.
<!-- FIXME: refer to the output attributes when we have one -->
- See [Advanced Attributes](./advanced-attributes.md) for more, infrequently used, optional attributes.
<!-- FIXME: This should be moved here -->
- Every other attribute is passed as an environment variable to the builder.
Attribute values are translated to environment variables as follows:
- Strings are passed unchanged.
- Integral numbers are converted to decimal notation.
- Floating point numbers are converted to simple decimal or scientific notation with a preset precision.
- A *path* (e.g., `../foo/sources.tar`) causes the referenced file
to be copied to the store; its location in the store is put in
the environment variable. The idea is that all sources should
reside in the Nix store, since all inputs to a derivation should
reside in the Nix store.
- A *derivation* causes that derivation to be built prior to the
present derivation. The environment variable is set to the [store path] of the derivation's default [output](#attr-outputs).
- Lists of the previous types are also allowed. They are simply
concatenated, separated by spaces.
- `true` is passed as the string `1`, `false` and `null` are
passed as an empty string.
<!-- FIXME: add a section on output attributes -->
## Builder execution
The [`builder`](#attr-builder) is executed as follows:
- A temporary directory is created under the directory specified by
`TMPDIR` (default `/tmp`) where the build will take place. The
current directory is changed to this directory.
- The environment is cleared and set to the derivation attributes, as
specified above.
- In addition, the following variables are set:
- `NIX_BUILD_TOP` contains the path of the temporary directory for
this build.
- Also, `TMPDIR`, `TEMPDIR`, `TMP`, `TEMP` are set to point to the
temporary directory. This is to prevent the builder from
accidentally writing temporary files anywhere else. Doing so
might cause interference by other processes.
- `PATH` is set to `/path-not-set` to prevent shells from
initialising it to their built-in default value.
- `HOME` is set to `/homeless-shelter` to prevent programs from
using `/etc/passwd` or the like to find the user's home
directory, which could cause impurity. Usually, when `HOME` is
set, it is used as the location of the home directory, even if
it points to a non-existent path.
- `NIX_STORE` is set to the path of the top-level Nix store
directory (typically, `/nix/store`).
- `NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE` & `NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` if `__structuredAttrs`
is set to `true` for the dervation. A detailed explanation of this
behavior can be found in the
[section about structured attrs](./advanced-attributes.md#adv-attr-structuredAttrs).
- For each output declared in `outputs`, the corresponding
environment variable is set to point to the intended path in the
Nix store for that output. Each output path is a concatenation
of the cryptographic hash of all build inputs, the `name`
attribute and the output name. (The output name is omitted if
it’s `out`.)
- If an output path already exists, it is removed. Also, locks are
acquired to prevent multiple Nix instances from performing the same
build at the same time.
- A log of the combined standard output and error is written to
`/nix/var/log/nix`.
- The builder is executed with the arguments specified by the
attribute `args`. If it exits with exit code 0, it is considered to
have succeeded.
- The temporary directory is removed (unless the `-K` option was
specified).
- If the build was successful, Nix scans each output path for
references to input paths by looking for the hash parts of the input
paths. Since these are potential runtime dependencies, Nix registers
them as dependencies of the output paths.
- After the build, Nix sets the last-modified timestamp on all files
in the build result to 1 (00:00:01 1/1/1970 UTC), sets the group to
the default group, and sets the mode of the file to 0444 or 0555
(i.e., read-only, with execute permission enabled if the file was
originally executable). Note that possible `setuid` and `setgid`
bits are cleared. Setuid and setgid programs are not currently
supported by Nix. This is because the Nix archives used in
deployment have no concept of ownership information, and because it
makes the build result dependent on the user performing the build.

# Import From Derivation
The value of a Nix expression can depend on the contents of a [store object](@docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-object).
Passing an expression `expr` that evaluates to a [store path](@docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-path) to any built-in function which reads from the filesystem constitutes Import From Derivation (IFD):
- [`import`](./builtins.md#builtins-import)` expr`
- [`builtins.readFile`](./builtins.md#builtins-readFile)` expr`
- [`builtins.readFileType`](./builtins.md#builtins-readFileType)` expr`
- [`builtins.readDir`](./builtins.md#builtins-readDir)` expr`
- [`builtins.pathExists`](./builtins.md#builtins-pathExists)` expr`
- [`builtins.filterSource`](./builtins.md#builtins-filterSource)` f expr`
- [`builtins.path`](./builtins.md#builtins-path)` { path = expr; }`
- [`builtins.hashFile`](./builtins.md#builtins-hashFile)` t expr`
- `builtins.scopedImport x drv`
When the store path needs to be accessed, evaluation will be paused, the corresponding store object [realised], and then evaluation resumed.
[realised]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-realise
This has performance implications:
Evaluation can only finish when all required store objects are realised.
Since the Nix language evaluator is sequential, it only finds store paths to read from one at a time.
While realisation is always parallel, in this case it cannot be done for all required store paths at once, and is therefore much slower than otherwise.
Realising store objects during evaluation can be disabled by setting [`allow-import-from-derivation`](../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-allow-import-from-derivation) to `false`.
Without IFD it is ensured that evaluation is complete and Nix can produce a build plan before starting any realisation.
## Example
In the following Nix expression, the inner derivation `drv` produces a file with contents `hello`.
```nix
# IFD.nix
let
drv = derivation {
name = "hello";
builder = "/bin/sh";
args = [ "-c" "echo -n hello > $out" ];
system = builtins.currentSystem;
};
in "${builtins.readFile drv} world"
```
```shellSession
nix-instantiate IFD.nix --eval --read-write-mode
```
```
building '/nix/store/348q1cal6sdgfxs8zqi9v8llrsn4kqkq-hello.drv'...
"hello world"
```
The contents of the derivation's output have to be [realised] before they can be read with [`readFile`](./builtins.md#builtins-readFile).
Only then evaluation can continue to produce the final result.
## Illustration
As a first approximation, the following data flow graph shows how evaluation and building are interleaved, if the value of a Nix expression depends on realising a [store object].
Boxes are data structures, arrow labels are transformations.
```

# String interpolation
String interpolation is a language feature where a [string], [path], or [attribute name] can contain expressions enclosed in `${ }` (dollar-sign with curly brackets).
String interpolation is a language feature where a [string], [path], or [attribute name][attribute set] can contain expressions enclosed in `${ }` (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]
Such a construct is called *interpolated string*, and the expression inside is an [interpolated expression](#interpolated-expression).
[string]: ./values.md#type-string

# Interpolated expression
An expression that is interpolated must evaluate to one of the following:
- a [string]
- a [path]
- an [attribute set] that has a `__toString` attribute or an `outPath` attribute
- `__toString` must be a function that takes the attribute set itself and returns a string
- `outPath` must be a string
This includes [derivations](./derivations.md) or [flake inputs](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake.md#flake-inputs) (experimental).
A string interpolates to itself.
A path in an interpolated expression is first copied into the Nix store, and the resulting string is the [store path] of the newly created [store object](../glossary.md#gloss-store-object).
[store path]: ../glossary.md#gloss-store-path
> **Example**

> $ mkdir foo

> "/nix/store/2hhl2nz5v0khbn06ys82nrk99aa1xxdw-foo"
A derivation interpolates to the [store path] of its first [output](./derivations.md#attr-outputs).
> **Example**
>
> ```nix
> let
> pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
> in
> "${pkgs.hello}"
> ```
>
> "/nix/store/4xpfqf29z4m8vbhrqcz064wfmb46w5r7-hello-2.12.1"
An attribute set interpolates to the return value of the function in the `__toString` applied to the attribute set itself.
> **Example**
>
> ```nix
> let
> a = {
> value = 1;
> __toString = self: toString (self.value + 1);

> in
> "${a}"

An attribute set also interpolates to the value of its `outPath` attribute.
> **Example**
>
> ```nix
> let
> a = { outPath = "foo"; };
> in

> ```
>

If both `__toString` and `outPath` are present in an attribute set, `__toString` takes precedence.

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

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.

# Basic Package Management
The main command for package management is
[`nix-env`](../command-ref/nix-env.md). You can use it to install,
upgrade, and erase packages, and to query what packages are installed
or are available for installation.
In Nix, different users can have different “views” on the set of
installed applications. That is, there might be lots of applications
present on the system (possibly in many different versions), but users
can have a specific selection of those active — where “active” just
means that it appears in a directory in the user’s `PATH`. Such a view
on the set of installed applications is called a *user environment*,
which is just a directory tree consisting of symlinks to the files of
the active applications.
Components are installed from a set of *Nix expressions* that tell Nix
how to build those packages, including, if necessary, their
dependencies. There is a collection of Nix expressions called the
Nixpkgs package collection that contains packages ranging from basic
development stuff such as GCC and Glibc, to end-user applications like
Mozilla Firefox. (Nix is however not tied to the Nixpkgs package
collection; you could write your own Nix expressions based on Nixpkgs,
or completely new ones.)
You can manually download the latest version of Nixpkgs from
<https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs>. However, it’s much more
convenient to use the Nixpkgs [*channel*](../command-ref/nix-channel.md), since it makes
it easy to stay up to date with new versions of Nixpkgs. Nixpkgs is
automatically added to your list of “subscribed” channels when you
install Nix. If this is not the case for some reason, you can add it
as follows:
```console
$ nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable
$ nix-channel --update
```
> **Note**
>
> On NixOS, you’re automatically subscribed to a NixOS channel
> corresponding to your NixOS major release (e.g.
> <http://nixos.org/channels/nixos-21.11>). A NixOS channel is identical
> to the Nixpkgs channel, except that it contains only Linux binaries
> and is updated only if a set of regression tests succeed.
You can view the set of available packages in Nixpkgs:
```console
$ nix-env --query --available --attr-path
nixpkgs.aterm aterm-2.2
nixpkgs.bash bash-3.0
nixpkgs.binutils binutils-2.15
nixpkgs.bison bison-1.875d
nixpkgs.blackdown blackdown-1.4.2
nixpkgs.bzip2 bzip2-1.0.2
…
```
The flag `-q` specifies a query operation, `-a` means that you want
to show the “available” (i.e., installable) packages, as opposed to the
installed packages, and `-P` prints the attribute paths that can be used
to unambiguously select a package for installation (listed in the first column).
If you downloaded Nixpkgs yourself, or if you checked it out from GitHub,
then you need to pass the path to your Nixpkgs tree using the `-f` flag:
```console
$ nix-env --query --available --attr-path --file /path/to/nixpkgs
aterm aterm-2.2
bash bash-3.0
…
```
where */path/to/nixpkgs* is where you’ve unpacked or checked out
Nixpkgs.
You can filter the packages by name:
```console
$ nix-env --query --available --attr-path firefox
nixpkgs.firefox-esr firefox-91.3.0esr
nixpkgs.firefox firefox-94.0.1
```
and using regular expressions:
```console
$ nix-env --query --available --attr-path 'firefox.*'
```
It is also possible to see the *status* of available packages, i.e.,
whether they are installed into the user environment and/or present in
the system:
```console
$ nix-env --query --available --attr-path --status
…
-PS nixpkgs.bash bash-3.0
--S nixpkgs.binutils binutils-2.15
IPS nixpkgs.bison bison-1.875d
…
```
The first character (`I`) indicates whether the package is installed in
your current user environment. The second (`P`) indicates whether it is
present on your system (in which case installing it into your user
environment would be a very quick operation). The last one (`S`)
indicates whether there is a so-called *substitute* for the package,
which is Nix’s mechanism for doing binary deployment. It just means that
Nix knows that it can fetch a pre-built package from somewhere
(typically a network server) instead of building it locally.
You can install a package using `nix-env --install --attr `. For instance,
```console
$ nix-env --install --attr nixpkgs.subversion
```
will install the package called `subversion` from `nixpkgs` channel (which is, of course, the
[Subversion version management system](http://subversion.tigris.org/)).
> **Note**
>
> When you ask Nix to install a package, it will first try to get it in
> pre-compiled form from a *binary cache*. By default, Nix will use the
> binary cache <https://cache.nixos.org>; it contains binaries for most
> packages in Nixpkgs. Only if no binary is available in the binary
> cache, Nix will build the package from source. So if `nix-env
> -iA nixpkgs.subversion` results in Nix building stuff from source, then either
> the package is not built for your platform by the Nixpkgs build
> servers, or your version of Nixpkgs is too old or too new. For
> instance, if you have a very recent checkout of Nixpkgs, then the
> Nixpkgs build servers may not have had a chance to build everything
> and upload the resulting binaries to <https://cache.nixos.org>. The
> Nixpkgs channel is only updated after all binaries have been uploaded
> to the cache, so if you stick to the Nixpkgs channel (rather than
> using a Git checkout of the Nixpkgs tree), you will get binaries for
> most packages.
Naturally, packages can also be uninstalled. Unlike when installing, you will
need to use the derivation name (though the version part can be omitted),
instead of the attribute path, as `nix-env` does not record which attribute
was used for installing:
```console
$ nix-env --uninstall subversion
```
Upgrading to a new version is just as easy. If you have a new release of
Nix Packages, you can do:
```console
$ nix-env --upgrade --attr nixpkgs.subversion
```
This will *only* upgrade Subversion if there is a “newer” version in the
new set of Nix expressions, as defined by some pretty arbitrary rules
regarding ordering of version numbers (which generally do what you’d
expect of them). To just unconditionally replace Subversion with
whatever version is in the Nix expressions, use `-i` instead of `-u`;
`-i` will remove whatever version is already installed.
You can also upgrade all packages for which there are newer versions:
```console
$ nix-env --upgrade
```
Sometimes it’s useful to be able to ask what `nix-env` would do, without
actually doing it. For instance, to find out what packages would be
upgraded by `nix-env --upgrade `, you can do
```console
$ nix-env --upgrade --dry-run
(dry run; not doing anything)
upgrading `libxslt-1.1.0' to `libxslt-1.1.10'
upgrading `graphviz-1.10' to `graphviz-1.12'
upgrading `coreutils-5.0' to `coreutils-5.2.1'
```

# Derivation "ATerm" file format
For historical reasons, [derivations](@docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-derivation) are stored on-disk in [ATerm](https://homepages.cwi.nl/~daybuild/daily-books/technology/aterm-guide/aterm-guide.html) format.
Derivations are serialised in one of the following formats:
- ```
Derive(...)
```
For all stable derivations.
- ```
DrvWithVersion(<version-string>, ...)
```
The only `version-string`s that are in use today are for [experimental features](@docroot@/contributing/experimental-features.md):
- `"xp-dyn-drv"` for the [`dynamic-derivations`](@docroot@/contributing/experimental-features.md#xp-feature-dynamic-derivations) experimental feature.

# Nix Release Notes
Nix has a release cycle of roughly 6 weeks.
Notable changes and additions are announced in the release notes for each version.
Bugfixes can be backported on request to previous Nix releases.
We typically backport only as far back as the Nix version used in the latest NixOS release, which is announced in the [NixOS release notes](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/release-notes.html#ch-release-notes).
Backports never skip releases.
If a feature is backported to version `x.y`, it must also be available in version `x.(y+1)`.
This ensures that upgrading from an older version with backports is still safe and no backported functionality will go missing.

* 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].

(The store always had to check whether it trusts the client, but now the client is informed of the store's decision.)
This is useful for scripting interactions with (non-legacy-ssh) remote Nix stores.
`nix store ping` and `nix doctor` now display this information.
`nix store info` and `nix doctor` now display this information.
* The new command `nix derivation add` allows adding derivations to the store without involving the Nix language.
It exists to round out our collection of basic utility/plumbing commands, and allow for a low barrier-to-entry way of experimenting with alternative front-ends to the Nix Store.

# Release 2.18 (2023-09-20)
- Two new builtin functions,
[`builtins.parseFlakeRef`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-parseFlakeRef)
and
[`builtins.flakeRefToString`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-flakeRefToString),
have been added.
These functions are useful for converting between flake references encoded as attribute sets and URLs.
- [`builtins.toJSON`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-parseFlakeRef) now prints [--show-trace](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.html#conf-show-trace) items for the path in which it finds an evaluation error.
- Error messages regarding malformed input to [`nix derivation add`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-derivation-add.md) are now clearer and more detailed.
- The `discard-references` feature has been stabilized.
This means that the
[unsafeDiscardReferences](@docroot@/contributing/experimental-features.md#xp-feature-discard-references)
attribute is no longer guarded by an experimental flag and can be used
freely.
- The JSON output for derived paths which are store paths is now a string, not an object with a single `path` field.
This only affects `nix-build --json` when "building" non-derivation things like fetched sources, which is a no-op.
- A new builtin [`outputOf`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-outputOf) has been added.
It is part of the [`dynamic-derivations`](@docroot@/contributing/experimental-features.md#xp-feature-dynamic-derivations) experimental feature.
- Flake follow paths at depths greater than 2 are now handled correctly, preventing "follows a non-existent input" errors.
- [`nix-store --query`](@docroot@/command-ref/nix-store/query.md) gained a new type of query: `--valid-derivers`. It returns all `.drv` files in the local store that *can be* used to build the output passed in argument. This is in contrast to `--deriver`, which returns the single `.drv` file that *was actually* used to build the output passed in argument. In case the output was substituted from a binary cache, this `.drv` file may only exist on said binary cache and not locally.

# Release X.Y (202?-??-??)
- Two new builtin functions,
[`builtins.parseFlakeRef`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-parseFlakeRef)
and
[`builtins.flakeRefToString`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-flakeRefToString),
have been added.
These functions are useful for converting between flake references encoded as attribute sets and URLs.
- [URL flake references](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake.md#flake-references) now support [percent-encoded](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986#section-2.1) characters.
- [`builtins.toJSON`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-parseFlakeRef) now prints [--show-trace](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.html#conf-show-trace) items for the path in which it finds an evaluation error.
- [Path-like flake references](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake.md#path-like-syntax) now accept arbitrary unicode characters (except `#` and `?`).
- Error messages regarding malformed input to [`derivation add`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-derivation-add.md) are now clearer and more detailed.
- The experimental feature `repl-flake` is no longer needed, as its functionality is now part of the `flakes` experimental feature. To get the previous behavior, use the `--file/--expr` flags accordingly.
- The `discard-references` feature has been stabilized.
This means that the
[unsafeDiscardReferences](@docroot@/contributing/experimental-features.md#xp-feature-discard-references)
attribute is no longer guarded by an experimental flag and can be used
freely.
- Introduce new flake installable syntax `flakeref#.attrPath` where the "." prefix denotes no searching of default attribute prefixes like `packages.<SYSTEM>` or `legacyPackages.<SYSTEM>`.
- Nix adds `apple-virt` to the default system features on macOS systems that support virtualization. This is similar to what's done for the `kvm` system feature on Linux hosts.
- Introduce a new built-in function [`builtins.convertHash`](@docroot@/language/builtins.md#builtins-convertHash).
- `nix-shell` shebang lines now support single-quoted arguments.
- `builtins.fetchTree` is now marked as stable.

Pull requests and issues that are deemed 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.
Whenever the discussion opens up questions about the process or this team's goals, this may indicate that the change is too large in scope.
In that case it is taken off the board to be reconsidered by the author or broken down into smaller pieces that are less far-reaching and can be reviewed independently.

By default, Nix allows you to `import` from a derivation, allowing
building at evaluation time. With this option set to false, Nix will
throw an error when evaluating an expression that uses this feature,
allowing users to ensure their evaluation will not require any
builds to take place.
By default, Nix allows [Import from Derivation](@docroot@/language/import-from-derivation.md).
With this option set to `false`, Nix will throw an error when evaluating an expression that uses this feature,
even when the required store object is readily available.
This ensures that evaluation will not require any builds to take place,
regardless of the state of the store.

Load, parse and return the Nix expression in the file *path*.
The value *path* can be a path, a string, or an attribute set with an
`__toString` attribute or a `outPath` attribute (as derivations or flake
inputs typically have).
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.
Load, parse, and return the Nix expression in the file *path*.
> **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](@docroot@/language/values.md#type-path).
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
The *path* argument must meet the same criteria as an [interpolated expression](@docroot@/language/string-interpolation.md#interpolated-expression).
```nix
rec {
x = 123;
y = import ./foo.nix;
}
```
If *path* is a directory, the file `default.nix` in that directory is used if it exists.
then the following `foo.nix` will give an error:
> **Example**
>
> ```console
> $ echo 123 > default.nix
> ```
>
> Import `default.nix` from the current directory.
>
> ```nix
> import ./.
> ```
>
> 123
```nix
x + 456
```
Evaluation aborts if the file doesn’t exist or contains an invalid Nix expression.
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:

any name would work.)

This is the process for each entry:
If the lookup path matches `prefix`, then the remainder of the lookup path (the "suffix") is searched for within the directory denoted by `patch`.

Return the output path of a derivation, literally or using a placeholder if needed.
If the derivation has a statically-known output path (i.e. the derivation output is input-addressed, or fixed content-addresed), the output path will just be returned.
But if the derivation is content-addressed or if the derivation is itself not-statically produced (i.e. is the output of another derivation), a placeholder will be returned instead.
*`derivation reference`* must be a string that may contain a regular store path to a derivation, or may be a placeholder reference. If the derivation is produced by a derivation, you must explicitly select `drv.outPath`.
This primop can be chained arbitrarily deeply.
For instance,
```nix
builtins.outputOf
(builtins.outputOf myDrv "out)
"out"
```
will return a placeholder for the output of the output of `myDrv`.
This primop corresponds to the `^` sigil for derivable paths, e.g. as part of installable syntax on the command line.
