    See https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#trivial-builder-symlinkJoin

    Create a forest of symlinks to the files in `paths`.

    This creates a single derivation that replicates the directory structure
    of all the input paths.

    BEWARE: it may not "work right" when the passed paths contain symlinks to directories.

    Example:


    # adds symlinks of hello to current build.
    symlinkJoin { name = "myhello"; paths = [ pkgs.hello ]; }




    # adds symlinks of hello and stack to current build and prints "links added"
    symlinkJoin { name = "myexample"; paths = [ pkgs.hello pkgs.stack ]; postBuild = "echo links added"; }


    This creates a derivation with a directory structure like the following:


    /nix/store/sglsr5g079a5235hy29da3mq3hv8sjmm-myexample
    |-- bin
    |   |-- hello -> /nix/store/qy93dp4a3rqyn2mz63fbxjg228hffwyw-hello-2.10/bin/hello
    |   `-- stack -> /nix/store/6lzdpxshx78281vy056lbk553ijsdr44-stack-2.1.3.1/bin/stack
    `-- share
        |-- bash-completion
        |   `-- completions
        |       `-- stack -> /nix/store/6lzdpxshx78281vy056lbk553ijsdr44-stack-2.1.3.1/share/bash-completion/completions/stack
        |-- fish
        |   `-- vendor_completions.d
        |       `-- stack.fish -> /nix/store/6lzdpxshx78281vy056lbk553ijsdr44-stack-2.1.3.1/share/fish/vendor_completions.d/stack.fish
    ...


    symlinkJoin and linkFarm are similar functions, but they output
    derivations with different structure.

    symlinkJoin is used to create a derivation with a familiar directory
    structure (top-level bin/, share/, etc), but with all actual files being symlinks to
    the files in the input derivations.

    symlinkJoin is used many places in nixpkgs to create a single derivation
    that appears to contain binaries, libraries, documentation, etc from
    multiple input derivations.

    linkFarm is instead used to create a simple derivation with symlinks to
    other derivations.  A derivation created with linkFarm is often used in CI
    as a easy way to build multiple derivations at once.

    or an attribute set name -> path like:

    { name = "/nix/store/..."; other = "/nix/store/..."; }

    # $out/foobar.
    linkFarm "myexample" [ { name = "hello-test"; path = pkgs.hello; } { name = "foobar"; path = pkgs.stack; } ]

       string refers to the output paths of the derivations/paths in its
