# Meta Attributes {#sec-meta-attributes}
|
||||
|
||||
Like Nix packages, NixOS modules can declare meta-attributes to provide
|
||||
extra information. Module meta attributes are defined in the `meta.nix`
|
||||
special module.
|
||||
|
||||
`meta` is a top level attribute like `options` and `config`. Available
|
||||
meta-attributes are `maintainers` and `doc`.
|
||||
|
||||
Each of the meta-attributes must be defined at most once per module
|
||||
file.
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:
|
||||
{
|
||||
options = {
|
||||
...
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
config = {
|
||||
...
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
meta = {
|
||||
maintainers = with lib.maintainers; [ ericsagnes ];
|
||||
doc = ./default.xml;
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- `maintainers` contains a list of the module maintainers.
|
||||
|
||||
- `doc` points to a valid DocBook file containing the module
|
||||
documentation. Its contents is automatically added to
|
||||
[](#ch-configuration). Changes to a module documentation have to
|
||||
be checked to not break building the NixOS manual:
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
$ nix-build nixos/release.nix -A manual.x86_64-linux
|
||||
```
