The package is specified as a list of strings representing its attribute path in nixpkgs.

Because of this, you need to pass nixpkgs itself as the first argument.

The second argument is the name of the option, used in the description "The <name> package to use.".

You can also pass an example value, either a literal string or a package's attribute path.

You can omit the default path if the name of the option is also attribute path in nixpkgs.
