# Stale bot information
- Thanks for your contribution!
- To remove the stale label, just leave a new comment.
- _How to find the right people to ping?_ &rarr; [`git blame`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-blame) to the rescue! (or GitHub's history and blame buttons.)
- You can always ask for help on [our Discourse Forum](https://discourse.nixos.org/) or on [Matrix - #nix:nixos.org](https://matrix.to/#/#nix:nixos.org).
## Suggestions for PRs
1. GitHub sometimes doesn't notify people who commented / reviewed a PR previously, when you (force) push commits. If you have addressed the reviews you can [officially ask for a review](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/requesting-a-pull-request-review) from those who commented to you or anyone else.
2. If it is unfinished but you plan to finish it, please mark it as a draft.
3. If you don't expect to work on it any time soon, closing it with a short comment may encourage someone else to pick up your work.
4. To get things rolling again, rebase the PR against the target branch and address valid comments.
5. If you need a review to move forward, ask in [the Discourse thread for PRs that need help](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/prs-in-distress/3604).
6. If all you need is a merge, check the git history to find and [request reviews](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/requesting-a-pull-request-review) from people who usually merge related contributions.
## Suggestions for issues
1. If it is resolved (either for you personally, or in general), please consider closing it.
2. If this might still be an issue, but you are not interested in promoting its resolution, please consider closing it while encouraging others to take over and reopen an issue if they care enough.
3. If you still have interest in resolving it, try to ping somebody who you believe might have an interest in the topic. Consider discussing the problem in [our Discourse Forum](https://discourse.nixos.org/).
4. As with all open source projects, your best option is to submit a Pull Request that addresses this issue. We :heart: this attitude!
**Memorandum on closing issues**
Don't be afraid to close an issue that holds valuable information. Closed issues stay in the system for people to search, read, cross-reference, or even reopen--nothing is lost! Closing obsolete issues is an important way to help maintainers focus their time and effort.

# Contributing to Nix
Welcome and thank you for your interest in contributing to Nix!
We appreciate your support.
Reading and following these guidelines will help us make the contribution process easy and effective for everyone involved.
## Report a bug
1. Check on the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues) if your bug was already reported.
2. If you were not able to find the bug or feature [open a new issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/new/choose)
3. The issue templates will guide you in specifying your issue.
The more complete the information you provide, the more likely it can be found by others and the more useful it is in the future.
Make sure reported bugs can be reproduced easily.
4. Once submitted, do not expect issues to be picked up or solved right away.
The only way to ensure this, is to [work on the issue yourself](#making-changes-to-nix).
## Report a security vulnerability
Check out the [security policy](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/security/policy).
## Making changes to Nix
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.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts
as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
the version number 2.1.]
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
your programs, too.
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
these things.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify the software.
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
introduced by others.
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
libraries into non-free programs.
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
the library.
We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be
allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
system.
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
that program using a modified version of the Library.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
be combined with the library in order to run.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
Each licensee is addressed as "you".
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
included without limitation in the term "modification".)
"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
and installation of the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
and what the program that uses the Library does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
Library.
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
in the event an application does not supply such function or
table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
its purpose remains meaningful.
(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
application-supplied function or table used by this function must
be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
root function must still compute square roots.)
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
it.
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Library.
collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
these notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
the Library into a program that is not a library.
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
medium customarily used for software interchange.
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with such
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
Library will still fall under Section 6.)
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
engineering for debugging such modifications.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.
You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
of these things:
a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
to use the modified definitions.)
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
least three years, to give the same user the materials
specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
than the cost of performing this distribution.
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
specified materials from the same place.
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
the executable.
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
distribute.
7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
Sections above.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not

Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
ordinary General Public License).
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

Foundation, Inc.
This file is free documentation; the Free Software Foundation gives
unlimited permission to copy, distribute and modify it.
Basic Installation
==================
These are generic installation instructions.
The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a
file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for
debugging `configure').
It can also use an optional file (typically called `config.cache'
and enabled with `--cache-file=config.cache' or simply `-C') that saves
the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring. (Caching is
disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale
cache files.)
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
be considered for the next release. If you are using the cache, and at
some point `config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you
may remove or edit it.
The file `configure.ac' (or `configure.in') is used to create
`configure' by a program called `autoconf'. You only need
`configure.ac' if you want to change it or regenerate `configure' using
a newer version of `autoconf'.
The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
`./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
`sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
`configure' itself.
Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some
messages telling which features it is checking for.
2. Type `make' to compile the package.
3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
the package.
4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
documentation.
5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is
also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get
all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
with the distribution.
Compilers and Options
=====================
Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
the `configure' script does not know about. Run `./configure --help'
for details on some of the pertinent environment variables.
You can give `configure' initial values for configuration parameters
by setting variables in the command line or in the environment. Here
is an example:
./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix
*Note Defining Variables::, for more details.
Compiling For Multiple Architectures
====================================
You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the
directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the
source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
If you have to use a `make' that does not support the `VPATH'
variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a
time in the source code directory. After you have installed the
package for one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring
for another architecture.
Installation Names
==================
By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/man', etc. You can specify an
installation prefix other than `/usr/local' by giving `configure' the
option `--prefix=PATH'.
You can specify separate installation prefixes for
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
In addition, if you use an unusual directory layout you can give
options like `--bindir=PATH' to specify different values for particular
kinds of files. Run `configure --help' for a list of the directories
you can set and what kinds of files go in them.
If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
Optional Features
=================
Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The
`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
package recognizes.
For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
Specifying the System Type
==========================
There may be some features `configure' cannot figure out
automatically, but needs to determine by the type of machine the package
will run on. Usually, assuming the package is built to be run on the
_same_ architectures, `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
a message saying it cannot guess the machine type, give it the
`--build=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name which has the form:
CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
where SYSTEM can have one of these forms:
OS KERNEL-OS
See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
need to know the machine type.
If you are _building_ compiler tools for cross-compiling, you should
use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will
produce code for.
If you want to _use_ a cross compiler, that generates code for a
platform different from the build platform, you should specify the
"host" platform (i.e., that on which the generated programs will
eventually be run) with `--host=TYPE'.
Sharing Defaults
================
If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,
you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives
default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
Defining Variables
==================
Variables not defined in a site shell script can be set in the
environment passed to `configure'. However, some packages may run
configure again during the build, and the customized values of these
variables may be lost. In order to avoid this problem, you should set
them in the `configure' command line, using `VAR=value'. For example:
./configure CC=/usr/local2/bin/gcc
will cause the specified gcc to be used as the C compiler (unless it is
overridden in the site shell script).
`configure' Invocation
======================
`configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
operates.
`--help'
`-h'
Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
`--version'
`-V'
Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
script, and exit.
`--cache-file=FILE'
Enable the cache: use and save the results of the tests in FILE,
traditionally `config.cache'. FILE defaults to `/dev/null' to
disable caching.
`--config-cache'
`-C'
Alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'.
`--quiet'
`--silent'
`-q'
Do not print messages saying which checks are being made. To
suppress all normal output, redirect it to `/dev/null' (any error
messages will still be shown).
`--srcdir=DIR'
Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually
`configure' can determine that directory automatically.
`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options. Run
`configure --help' for more details.

Unify the concepts of successors and substitutes into a general notion
of <emphasis>equivalent expressions</emphasis>. Expressions are
equivalent if they have the same target paths with the same
identifiers. However, even though they are functionally equivalent,
they may differ stronly with respect to their <emphasis>performance
characteristics</emphasis>. For example, realising a slice is more
efficient that realising the derivation from which that slice was
produced. On the other hand, distributing sources may be more
efficient (storage- or bandwidth-wise) than distributing binaries. So
we need to be able to attach weigths or priorities or performance
annotations to expressions; Nix can then choose the most efficient
expression dependent on the context.

<para>
The command <command>fix</command> generates Nix expressions from
expressions is Fix's own high-level language. While Nix expressions are
very primitive and not intended to be written directly, Fix expressions
are quite easy to write.

<title>Introduction</title>
<sect1>
<title>The problem space</title>
<para>
Nix is a system for controlling the automatic creation and distribution
of data, such as computer programs and other software artifacts. This is
a very general problem, and there are many applications that fall under
this description.
</para>
<sect2>
<title>Build management</title>
<para>
Build management tools are used to perform <emphasis>software
builds</emphasis>, that is, the construction of derived products
(<emphasis>derivates)</emphasis>) such as executable programs from
source code. A commonly used build tool is Make, which is a standard
tool on Unix systems. These tools have to deal with several issues:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>Efficiency</emphasis>. Since building large systems
can take a substantial amount of time, it is desirable that build
steps that have been performed in the past are not repeated
unnecessarily, i.e., if a new build differs from a previous build
only with respect to certain sources, then only the build steps
that (directly or indirectly) <emphasis>depend</emphasis> on
those sources should be redone.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>Correctness</emphasis> is this context means that the
derivates produced by a build are always consistent with the
sources, that is, they are equal to what we would get if we were
to build the derivates from those sources. This requirement is
trivially met when we do a full, unconditional build, but is far
from trivial under the requirement of efficiency, since it is not
easy to determine which derivates are affected by a change to a
source.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>Variability</emphasis> is the property that a software
system can be built in a (potentially large) number of variants.
Variation exists both in <emphasis>time</emphasis>---the
evolution of different versions of an artifact---and in
<emphasis>space</emphasis>---the artifact might have
configuration options that lead to variants that differ in the
features they support (for example, a system might be built with
or without debugging information).
</para>
<para>
Build managers historically have had good support for variation
in time (rebuilding the system in an intelligent way when sources
change is one of the primary reasons to use a build manager), but
not always for variation in space. For example,
<command>make</command> will not automatically ensure that
variant builds are properly isolated from each other (they will
in fact overwrite each other unless special precautions are
taken).
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>High-level system modelling language</emphasis>. The
language in which one describes what and how derivates are to be
produced should have sufficient abstraction facilities to make it
easy to specify the derivation of even very large systems. Also,
the language should be <emphasis>modular</emphasis> to enable
components from possible different sources to be easily combined.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>Package management</title>
<para>
After software has been built, is must also be
<emphasis>deployed</emphasis> in the intended target environment, e.g.,
the user's workstation. Examples include the Red Hat package manager
(RPM), Microsoft's MSI, and so on. Here also we have several issues to
contend with:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
The <emphasis>creation</emphasis> of packages from some formal
description of what artifacts should be distributed in the
package.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
The <emphasis>deployment</emphasis> of packages, that is, the
mechanism by which we get them onto the intended target
environment. This can be as simple as copying a file, but
complexity comes from the wide range of possible installation
media (such as a network install), and the scalability of the
process (if a program must be installed on a thousand systems, we
do not want to visit each system and perform some manual steps to
install the program on that system; that is, the complexity for
the system administrator should be constant, not linear).

<sect1>
<title>What Nix provides</title>
<para>
Here is a summary of Nix's main features:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>Reliable dependencies.</emphasis> Builds of file system
objects depend on other file system object, such as source files,
tools, and so on. We would like to ensure that a build does not
refer to any objects that have not been declared as inputs for that
build. This is important for several reasons. First, if any of the
inputs change, we need to rebuild the things that depend on them to
maintain consistency between sources and derivates. Second, when we
<emphasis>deploy</emphasis> file system objects (that is, copy them
to a different system), we want to be certain that we copy everything
that we need.
</para>
<para>
Nix ensures this by building and storing file system objects in paths
that are infeasible to predict in advance. For example, the
artifacts of a package <literal>X</literal> might be stored in
<filename>/nix/store/d58a0606ed616820de291d594602665d-X</filename>,
rather than in, say, <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. The path
component <filename>d58a...</filename> is actually a cryptographic
hash of all the inputs (i.e., sources, requisites, and build flags)
used in building <literal>X</literal>, and as such is very fragile:
any change to the inputs will change the hash. Therefore it is not
sensible to <emphasis>hard-code</emphasis> such a path into the build
scripts of a package <literal>Y</literal> that uses
<literal>X</literal> (as does happen with <quote>fixed</quote> paths
such as <filename>/usr/lib</filename>). Rather, the build script of
package <literal>Y</literal> is parameterised with the actual
location of <literal>X</literal>, which is supplied by the Nix
system.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>Support for variability.</emphasis>
</para>
<para>
As stated above, the path name of a file system object contain a
cryptographic hash of all inputs involved in building it. A change to
any of the inputs will cause the hash to change--and by extension,
the path name. These inputs include both sources (variation in time)
and configuration options (variation in space). Therefore variants
of the same package don't clash---they can co-exist peacefully within
the same file system. So thanks to Nix's mechanism for reliably
dealing with dependencies, we obtain management of variants for free
(or, to quote Simon Peyton-Jone, it's not free, but it has already
been paid for).

to build systems like those in, e.g., Vesta and ClearCase [sic?], it
does not rely on operating system extensions.

Here is what Nix doesn't yet provide, but will:
</para>

<listitem>
<para>
<emphasis>Build management.</emphasis> In principle it is already
possible to do build management using Fix (by writing builders that
perform appropriate build steps), but the Fix language is not yet
powerful enough to make this pleasant. The <ulink
url='http://www.cs.uu.nl/~eelco/maak/'>Maak build manager</ulink>
should be retargeted to produce Nix expressions, or alternatively,
extend Fix with Maak's semantics and concrete syntax (since Fix needs
a concrete syntax anyway). Another interesting idea is to write a
<command>make</command> implementation that uses Nix as a back-end to
support <ulink

The command <command>nix</command> provides access to the Nix store. This
is the (set of) path(s) where Nix expressions and the file system objects
built by them are stored.

<para>
<command>nix</command> has many subcommands called
<emphasis>operations</emphasis>. These are individually documented
below. Exactly one operation must always be provided.

The operation <option>--delete</option> unconditionally deletes the

error to attempt to delete paths outside of the store.
</para>
<warning>
<para>
This operation should almost never be called directly, since no
attempt is made to verify that no references exist to the paths to
be deleted. Therefore, careless deletion can result in an
inconsistent system. Deletion of paths in the store is done by the
garbage collector (which uses <option>--delete</option> to delete
unreferenced paths).

<title>Queries</title>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--list</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Prints out the target paths of the Nix expressions indicated by
the identifiers <replaceable>args</replaceable>. In the case of
a derivation expression, these are the paths that will be
produced by the builder of the expression. In the case of a
slice expression, these are the root paths (which are generally
the paths that were produced by the builder of the derivation
expression of which the slice is a normal form).
</para>
<para>
This query has one option:
</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--normalise</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Causes the target paths of the <emphasis>normal
forms</emphasis> of the expressions to be printed, rather
than the target paths of the expressions themselves.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--requisites</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Prints out the requisite paths of the Nix expressions indicated
by the identifiers <replaceable>args</replaceable>. The
requisite paths of a Nix expression are the paths that need to be
present in the system to be able to realise the expression. That
is, they form the <emphasis>closure</emphasis> of the expression
in the file system (i.e., no path in the set of requisite paths
points to anything outside the set of requisite paths).
</para>
<para>
The notion of requisite paths is very useful when one wants to
distribute Nix expressions. Since they form a closure, they are
the only paths one needs to distribute to another system to be
able to realise the expression on the other system.
</para>
<para>
This query is generally used to implement various kinds of
distribution. A <emphasis>source distribution</emphasis> is
obtained by distributing the requisite paths of a derivation
expression. A <emphasis>binary distribution</emphasis> is
obtained by distributing the requisite paths of a slice
expression (i.e., the normal form of a derivation expression; you
can directly specify the identifier of the slice expression, or
use <option>--normalise</option> and specify the identifier of a
derivation expression). A <emphasis>cache
distribution</emphasis> is obtained by distributing the
requisite paths of a derivation expression and specifying the
option <option>--include-successors</option>. This will include
not just the paths of a source and binary distribution, but also
all expressions and paths of subterms of the source. This is
useful if one wants to realise on the target system a Nix
expression that is similar but not quite the same as the one
being distributed, since any common subterms will be reused.
</para>
<para>
This query has a number of options:
</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--normalise</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Causes the requisite paths of the <emphasis>normal
forms</emphasis> of the expressions to be printed, rather
than the requisite paths of the expressions themselves.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--exclude-exprs</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Excludes the paths of Nix expressions. This causes the
closure property to be lost, that is, the resulting set of
paths is not enough to ensure realisibility.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--include-successors</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Also include the requisites of successors (normal forms).
Only the requisites of <emphasis>known</emphasis>
successors are included, i.e., the normal forms of
derivation expressions that have never been normalised will
not be included.
</para>
<para>
Note that not just the successor of a derivation expression
will be included, but also the successors of all input
expressions of that derivation expression. I.e., all
normal forms of subterms involved in the normalisation of
the top-level term are included.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--expansion</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>
For each identifier in <replaceable>args</replaceable>, prints
all expansions of that identifier, that is, all paths whose
current content matches the identifier.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--graph</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Prints a graph of the closure of the expressions identified by
<replaceable>args</replaceable> in the format of the
<command>dot</command> tool of AT&amp;T's GraphViz package.
</para>

// the following code matches the current page's URL against the set of redirects.
//
// it is written to minimize the latency between page load and redirect.
// therefore we avoid function calls, copying data, and unnecessary loops.
// IMPORTANT: we use stateful array operations and their order matters!
//
// matching URLs is more involved than it should be:
//
// 1. `document.location.pathname` can have an arbitrary prefix.
//
// 2. `path_to_root` is set by mdBook. it consists only of `../`s and
// determines the depth of `<path>` relative to the prefix:
//
// `document.location.pathname`
// |------------------------------|
// /<prefix>/<path>/[<file>[.html]][#<anchor>]
// |----|
// `path_to_root` has same number of path segments
//
// source: https://phaiax.github.io/mdBook/format/theme/index-hbs.html#data
//
// 3. the following paths are equivalent:
//
// /foo/bar/
// /foo/bar/index.html
// /foo/bar/index
//
// 4. the following paths are also equivalent:
//
// /foo/bar/baz
// /foo/bar/baz.html
//
let segments = document.location.pathname.split('/');
let file = segments.pop();
// normalize file name
if (file === '') { file = "index.html"; }
else if (!file.endsWith('.html')) { file = file + '.html'; }
segments.push(file);
// use `path_to_root` to discern prefix from path.
const depth = path_to_root.split('/').length;
// remove segments containing prefix. the following works because
// 1. the original `document.location.pathname` is absolute,
// hence first element of `segments` is always empty.
// 2. last element of splitting `path_to_root` is also always empty.
// 3. last element of `segments` is the file name.
//
// visual example:
//
// '/foo/bar/baz.html'.split('/') -> [ '', 'foo', 'bar', 'baz.html' ]
// '../'.split('/') -> [ '..', '' ]
//
// the following operations will then result in
//
// path = 'bar/baz.html'
//
segments.splice(0, segments.length - depth);
const path = segments.join('/');
// anchor starts with the hash character (`#`),
// but our redirect declarations don't, so we strip it.
// example:
// document.location.hash -> '#foo'
// document.location.hash.substring(1) -> 'foo'
const anchor = document.location.hash.substring(1);
const redirect = redirects[path];

synopsis: Concise error printing in `nix repl`
prs: 9928
---
Previously, if an element of a list or attribute set threw an error while
evaluating, `nix repl` would print the entire error (including source location
information) inline. This output was clumsy and difficult to parse:
```
nix-repl> { err = builtins.throw "uh oh!"; }
{ err = «error:
… while calling the 'throw' builtin
at «string»:1:9:
1| { err = builtins.throw "uh oh!"; }
| ^
error: uh oh!»; }
```
Now, only the error message is displayed, making the output much more readable.
```
nix-repl> { err = builtins.throw "uh oh!"; }
{ err = «error: uh oh!»; }
```
However, if the whole expression being evaluated throws an error, source
locations and (if applicable) a stack trace are printed, just like you'd expect:
```
nix-repl> builtins.throw "uh oh!"
error:
… while calling the 'throw' builtin
at «string»:1:1:
1| builtins.throw "uh oh!"
| ^
error: uh oh!
```

Breakpoints and errors in the bindings of a `let` expression can now access

synopsis: Enter the `--debugger` when `builtins.trace` is called if `debugger-on-trace` is set
prs: 9914
---
If the `debugger-on-trace` option is set and `--debugger` is given,
`builtins.trace` calls will behave similarly to `builtins.break` and will enter
the debug REPL. This is useful for determining where warnings are being emitted
from.

synopsis: The `--debugger` will start more reliably in `let` expressions and function calls
prs: 9917
issues: 6649
---
Previously, if you attempted to evaluate this file with the debugger:
```nix
let
a = builtins.trace "before inner break" (
builtins.break "hello"
);
b = builtins.trace "before outer break" (
builtins.break a
);
in
b
```
Nix would correctly enter the debugger at `builtins.break a`, but if you asked
it to `:continue`, it would skip over the `builtins.break "hello"` expression
entirely.
Now, Nix will correctly enter the debugger at both breakpoints.

Leading periods were allowed by accident in Nix 2.4. The Nix team has considered this to be a bug, but this behavior has since been relied on by users, leading to unnecessary difficulties.
From now on, leading periods are officially, definitively supported. The names `.` and `..` are disallowed, as well as those starting with `.-` or `..-`.
Nix versions that denied leading periods are documented [in the issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/912#issuecomment-1919583286).

# Tuning Cores and Jobs
Nix has two relevant settings with regards to how your CPU cores will
be utilized: `cores` and `max-jobs`. This chapter will talk about what
they are, how they interact, and their configuration trade-offs.
- `max-jobs`\
Dictates how many separate derivations will be built at the same
time. If you set this to zero, the local machine will do no
builds. Nix will still substitute from binary caches, and build
remotely if remote builders are configured.
- `cores`\
Suggests how many cores each derivation should use. Similar to
`make -j`.
The `cores` setting determines the value of
`NIX_BUILD_CORES`. `NIX_BUILD_CORES` is equal to `cores`, unless
`cores` equals `0`, in which case `NIX_BUILD_CORES` will be the total
number of cores in the system.
The maximum number of consumed cores is a simple multiplication,
`max-jobs` \* `NIX_BUILD_CORES`.
The balance on how to set these two independent variables depends upon
each builder's workload and hardware. Here are a few example scenarios
on a machine with 24 cores:
| `max-jobs` | `cores` | `NIX_BUILD_CORES` | Maximum Processes | Result |
| --------------------- | ------------------ | ----------------- | ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1 | 24 | 24 | 24 | One derivation will be built at a time, each one can use 24 cores. Undersold if a job cant use 24 cores. |
| 4 | 6 | 6 | 24 | Four derivations will be built at once, each given access to six cores. |
| 12 | 6 | 6 | 72 | 12 derivations will be built at once, each given access to six cores. This configuration is over-sold. If all 12 derivations being built simultaneously try to use all six cores, the machine's performance will be degraded due to extensive context switching between the 12 builds. |
| 24 | 1 | 1 | 24 | 24 derivations can build at the same time, each using a single core. Never oversold, but derivations which require many cores will be very slow to compile. |
| 24 | 0 | 24 | 576 | 24 derivations can build at the same time, each using all the available cores of the machine. Very likely to be oversold, and very likely to suffer context switches. |
It is up to the derivations' build script to respect host's requested
cores-per-build by following the value of the `NIX_BUILD_CORES`
environment variable.

# Verifying Build Reproducibility
You can use Nix's `diff-hook` setting to compare build results. Note
that this hook is only executed if the results differ; it is not used
for determining if the results are the same.
For purposes of demonstration, we'll use the following Nix file,
`deterministic.nix` for testing:
```nix
let
inherit (import <nixpkgs> {}) runCommand;
in {
stable = runCommand "stable" {} ''
touch $out
'';
unstable = runCommand "unstable" {} ''
echo $RANDOM > $out
'';
}
```
Additionally, `nix.conf` contains:
diff-hook = /etc/nix/my-diff-hook
run-diff-hook = true
where `/etc/nix/my-diff-hook` is an executable file containing:
```bash
#!/bin/sh
exec >&2
echo "For derivation $3:"
/run/current-system/sw/bin/diff -r "$1" "$2"
```
The diff hook is executed by the same user and group who ran the build.
However, the diff hook does not have write access to the store path just
built.
# Spot-Checking Build Determinism
Verify a path which already exists in the Nix store by passing `--check`
to the build command.
If the build passes and is deterministic, Nix will exit with a status
code of 0:
```console
$ nix-build ./deterministic.nix --attr stable
this derivation will be built:
/nix/store/z98fasz2jqy9gs0xbvdj939p27jwda38-stable.drv
building '/nix/store/z98fasz2jqy9gs0xbvdj939p27jwda38-stable.drv'...
/nix/store/yyxlzw3vqaas7wfp04g0b1xg51f2czgq-stable
$ nix-build ./deterministic.nix --attr stable --check
checking outputs of '/nix/store/z98fasz2jqy9gs0xbvdj939p27jwda38-stable.drv'...
/nix/store/yyxlzw3vqaas7wfp04g0b1xg51f2czgq-stable
```
If the build is not deterministic, Nix will exit with a status code of
1:
```console
$ nix-build ./deterministic.nix --attr unstable

In the Nix daemon's log, we will now see:

Using `--check` with `--keep-failed` will cause Nix to keep the second
build's output in a special, `.check` path:
```console
$ nix-build ./deterministic.nix --attr unstable --check --keep-failed
checking outputs of '/nix/store/cgl13lbj1w368r5z8gywipl1ifli7dhk-unstable.drv'...

from '/nix/store/krpqk0l9ib0ibi1d2w52z293zw455cap-unstable.check'
```
In particular, notice the
`/nix/store/krpqk0l9ib0ibi1d2w52z293zw455cap-unstable.check` output. Nix
has copied the build results to that directory where you can examine it.
> []{#check-dirs-are-unregistered} **Note**

`--check` is only usable if the derivation has been built on the system
already. If the derivation has not been built Nix will fail with the
error:
error: some outputs of '/nix/store/hzi1h60z2qf0nb85iwnpvrai3j2w7rr6-unstable.drv'
are not valid, so checking is not possible
Run the build without `--check`, and then try with `--check` again.

# Remote Builds
Nix supports remote builds, where a local Nix installation can forward
Nix builds to other machines. This allows multiple builds to be
performed in parallel and allows Nix to perform multi-platform builds in
a semi-transparent way. For instance, if you perform a build for a
`x86_64-darwin` on an `i686-linux` machine, Nix can automatically
forward the build to a `x86_64-darwin` machine, if available.
To forward a build to a remote machine, its required that the remote
machine is accessible via SSH and that it has Nix installed. You can
test whether connecting to the remote Nix instance works, e.g.
```console
$ nix store info --store ssh://mac
```
will try to connect to the machine named `mac`. It is possible to
specify an SSH identity file as part of the remote store URI, e.g.
```console
$ nix store info --store ssh://mac?ssh-key=/home/alice/my-key
```
Since builds should be non-interactive, the key should not have a
passphrase. Alternatively, you can load identities ahead of time into
`ssh-agent` or `gpg-agent`.
If you get the error
```console
bash: nix-store: command not found
error: cannot connect to 'mac'
```
then you need to ensure that the `PATH` of non-interactive login shells
contains Nix.
The [list of remote build machines](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-builders) can be specified on the command line or in the Nix configuration file.
For example, the following command allows you to build a derivation for `x86_64-darwin` on a Linux machine:
```console
$ uname
Linux
$ nix build --impure \
--expr '(with import <nixpkgs> { system = "x86_64-darwin"; }; runCommand "foo" {} "uname > $out")' \
--builders 'ssh://mac x86_64-darwin'
[1/0/1 built, 0.0 MiB DL] building foo on ssh://mac
$ cat ./result
Darwin
```
It is possible to specify multiple build machines separated by a semicolon or a newline, e.g.
```console
--builders 'ssh://mac x86_64-darwin ; ssh://beastie x86_64-freebsd'
```
Remote build machines can also be configured in [`nix.conf`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md), e.g.
builders = ssh://mac x86_64-darwin ; ssh://beastie x86_64-freebsd
Finally, remote build machines can be configured in a separate configuration
file included in `builders` via the syntax `@/path/to/file`. For example,
builders = @/etc/nix/machines
causes the list of machines in `/etc/nix/machines` to be included.
(This is the default.)

# Using the `post-build-hook`
# Implementation Caveats
Here we use the post-build hook to upload to a binary cache. This is a
simple and working example, but it is not suitable for all use cases.
The post build hook program runs after each executed build, and blocks
the build loop. The build loop exits if the hook program fails.
Concretely, this implementation will make Nix slow or unusable when the
internet is slow or unreliable.
A more advanced implementation might pass the store paths to a
user-supplied daemon or queue for processing the store paths outside of
the build loop.
# Prerequisites
This tutorial assumes you have configured an [S3-compatible binary cache](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-help-stores.md#s3-binary-cache-store) as a [substituter](../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-substituters),
and that the `root` user's default AWS profile can upload to the bucket.
# Set up a Signing Key
Use `nix-store --generate-binary-cache-key` to create our public and
private signing keys. We will sign paths with the private key, and
distribute the public key for verifying the authenticity of the paths.
```console
# nix-store --generate-binary-cache-key example-nix-cache-1 /etc/nix/key.private /etc/nix/key.public
# cat /etc/nix/key.public
example-nix-cache-1:1/cKDz3QCCOmwcztD2eV6Coggp6rqc9DGjWv7C0G+rM=
```
Then update [`nix.conf`](../command-ref/conf-file.md) on any machine that will access the cache.
Add the cache URL to [`substituters`](../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-substituters) and the public key to [`trusted-public-keys`](../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-trusted-public-keys):
substituters = https://cache.nixos.org/ s3://example-nix-cache
trusted-public-keys = cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY= example-nix-cache-1:1/cKDz3QCCOmwcztD2eV6Coggp6rqc9DGjWv7C0G+rM=
Machines that build for the cache must sign derivations using the private key.
On those machines, add the path to the key file to the [`secret-key-files`](../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-secret-key-files) field in their [`nix.conf`](../command-ref/conf-file.md):
secret-key-files = /etc/nix/key.private
We will restart the Nix daemon in a later step.
# Implementing the build hook
Write the following script to `/etc/nix/upload-to-cache.sh`:
```bash
#!/bin/sh
set -eu
set -f # disable globbing
export IFS=' '
echo "Uploading paths" $OUT_PATHS
exec nix copy --to "s3://example-nix-cache" $OUT_PATHS
```
> **Note**
>
> The `$OUT_PATHS` variable is a space-separated list of Nix store
> paths. In this case, we expect and want the shell to perform word
> splitting to make each output path its own argument to `nix
> store sign`. Nix guarantees the paths will not contain any spaces,
> however a store path might contain glob characters. The `set -f`
> disables globbing in the shell.
> If you want to upload the `.drv` file too, the `$DRV_PATH` variable
> is also defined for the script and works just like `$OUT_PATHS`.
Then make sure the hook program is executable by the `root` user:
```console
# chmod +x /etc/nix/upload-to-cache.sh
```
# Updating Nix Configuration
Edit `/etc/nix/nix.conf` to run our hook, by adding the following
configuration snippet at the end:
post-build-hook = /etc/nix/upload-to-cache.sh
Then, restart the `nix-daemon`.
# Testing
Build any derivation, for example:
```console
$ nix-build --expr '(import <nixpkgs> {}).writeText "example" (builtins.toString builtins.currentTime)'
this derivation will be built:
/nix/store/s4pnfbkalzy5qz57qs6yybna8wylkig6-example.drv
building '/nix/store/s4pnfbkalzy5qz57qs6yybna8wylkig6-example.drv'...
running post-build-hook '/home/grahamc/projects/github.com/NixOS/nix/post-hook.sh'...
post-build-hook: Signing paths /nix/store/ibcyipq5gf91838ldx40mjsp0b8w9n18-example
post-build-hook: Uploading paths /nix/store/ibcyipq5gf91838ldx40mjsp0b8w9n18-example
/nix/store/ibcyipq5gf91838ldx40mjsp0b8w9n18-example
```
Then delete the path from the store, and try substituting it from the
binary cache:
```console
$ rm ./result
$ nix-store --delete /nix/store/ibcyipq5gf91838ldx40mjsp0b8w9n18-example
```
Now, copy the path back from the cache:
```console
$ nix-store --realise /nix/store/ibcyipq5gf91838ldx40mjsp0b8w9n18-example
copying path '/nix/store/m8bmqwrch6l3h8s0k3d673xpmipcdpsa-example from 's3://example-nix-cache'...
warning: you did not specify '--add-root'; the result might be removed by the garbage collector
/nix/store/m8bmqwrch6l3h8s0k3d673xpmipcdpsa-example
```
# Conclusion
We now have a Nix installation configured to automatically sign and
upload every local build to a remote binary cache.
Before deploying this to production, be sure to consider the

# Architecture
This chapter describes how Nix works.
It should help users understand why Nix behaves as it does, and it should help developers understand how to modify Nix and how to write similar tools.
## Overview
Nix consists of [hierarchical layers].
[hierarchical layers]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitier_architecture#Layers
The following [concept map] shows its main components (rectangles), the objects they operate on (rounded rectangles), and their interactions (connecting phrases):

```
At the top is the [command line interface](../command-ref/index.md) that drives the underlying layers.
The [Nix language](../language/index.md) evaluator transforms Nix expressions into self-contained *build plans*, which are used to derive *build results* from referenced *build inputs*.
The command line interface and Nix expressions are what users deal with most.
> **Note**
>
> The Nix language itself does not have a notion of *packages* or *configurations*.
> As far as we are concerned here, the inputs and results of a build plan are just data.
Underlying the command line interface and the Nix language evaluator is the [Nix store](../store/index.md), a mechanism to keep track of build plans, data, and references between them.
It can also execute build plans to produce new data, which are made available to the operating system as files.
A build plan itself is a series of *build tasks*, together with their build inputs.
> **Important**
> A build task in Nix is called [derivation](../glossary.md#gloss-derivation).
Each build task has a special build input executed as *build instructions* in order to perform the build.
The result of a build task can be input to another build task.
The following [data flow diagram] shows a build plan for illustration.
Build inputs used as instructions to a build task are marked accordingly:

# Name
`nix.conf` - Nix configuration file
# Description
Nix supports a variety of configuration settings, which are read from configuration files or taken as command line flags.
## Configuration file
By default Nix reads settings from the following places, in that order:
1. The system-wide configuration file `sysconfdir/nix/nix.conf` (i.e. `/etc/nix/nix.conf` on most systems), or `$NIX_CONF_DIR/nix.conf` if [`NIX_CONF_DIR`](./env-common.md#env-NIX_CONF_DIR) is set.
Values loaded in this file are not forwarded to the Nix daemon.
The client assumes that the daemon has already loaded them.
1. If [`NIX_USER_CONF_FILES`](./env-common.md#env-NIX_USER_CONF_FILES) is set, then each path separated by `:` will be loaded in reverse order.
Otherwise it will look for `nix/nix.conf` files in `XDG_CONFIG_DIRS` and [`XDG_CONFIG_HOME`](./env-common.md#env-XDG_CONFIG_HOME).
If unset, `XDG_CONFIG_DIRS` defaults to `/etc/xdg`, and `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` defaults to `$HOME/.config` as per [XDG Base Directory Specification](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html).
1. If [`NIX_CONFIG`](./env-common.md#env-NIX_CONFIG) is set, its contents are treated as the contents of a configuration file.
### File format
Configuration files consist of `name = value` pairs, one per line.
Comments start with a `#` character.
Example:
```
keep-outputs = true # Nice for developers
keep-derivations = true # Idem
```
Other files can be included with a line like `include <path>`, where `<path>` is interpreted relative to the current configuration file.
A missing file is an error unless `!include` is used instead.
A configuration setting usually overrides any previous value.
However, for settings that take a list of items, you can prefix the name of the setting by `extra-` to *append* to the previous value.
For instance,
```
substituters = a b
extra-substituters = c d
```
defines the `substituters` setting to be `a b c d`.
Unknown option names are not an error, and are simply ignored with a warning.
## Command line flags
Configuration options can be set on the command line, overriding the values set in the [configuration file](#configuration-file):
- Every configuration setting has corresponding command line flag (e.g. `--max-jobs 16`).
Boolean settings do not need an argument, and can be explicitly disabled with the `no-` prefix (e.g. `--keep-failed` and `--no-keep-failed`).
Unknown option names are invalid flags (unless there is already a flag with that name), and are rejected with an error.
- The flag `--option <name> <value>` is interpreted exactly like a `<name> = <value>` in a setting file.
Unknown option names are ignored with a warning.
The `extra-` prefix is supported for settings that take a list of items (e.g. `--extra-trusted users alice` or `--option extra-trusted-users alice`).

# Common Environment Variables
Most Nix commands interpret the following environment variables:
- <span id="env-IN_NIX_SHELL">[`IN_NIX_SHELL`](#env-IN_NIX_SHELL)</span>
Indicator that tells if the current environment was set up by
`nix-shell`. It can have the values `pure` or `impure`.
- <span id="env-NIX_PATH">[`NIX_PATH`](#env-NIX_PATH)</span>
A colon-separated list of directories used to look up the location of Nix
expressions using [paths](@docroot@/language/values.md#type-path)
enclosed in angle brackets (i.e., `<path>`),
e.g. `/home/eelco/Dev:/etc/nixos`. It can be extended using the
[`-I` option](@docroot@/command-ref/opt-common.md#opt-I).
If `NIX_PATH` is not set at all, Nix will fall back to the following list in [impure](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-pure-eval) and [unrestricted](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-restrict-eval) evaluation mode:
1. `$HOME/.nix-defexpr/channels`
2. `nixpkgs=/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixpkgs`
3. `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels`
If `NIX_PATH` is set to an empty string, resolving search paths will always fail.
For example, attempting to use `<nixpkgs>` will produce:
error: file 'nixpkgs' was not found in the Nix search path
- <span id="env-NIX_IGNORE_SYMLINK_STORE">[`NIX_IGNORE_SYMLINK_STORE`](#env-NIX_IGNORE_SYMLINK_STORE)</span>
Normally, the Nix store directory (typically `/nix/store`) is not
allowed to contain any symlink components. This is to prevent
“impure” builds. Builders sometimes “canonicalise” paths by
resolving all symlink components. Thus, builds on different machines
(with `/nix/store` resolving to different locations) could yield
different results. This is generally not a problem, except when
builds are deployed to machines where `/nix/store` resolves
differently. If you are sure that youre not going to do that, you
can set `NIX_IGNORE_SYMLINK_STORE` to `1`.
Note that if youre symlinking the Nix store so that you can put it
on another file system than the root file system, on Linux youre
better off using `bind` mount points, e.g.,
```console
$ mkdir /nix
$ mount -o bind /mnt/otherdisk/nix /nix
```
Consult the mount 8 manual page for details.
- <span id="env-NIX_STORE_DIR">[`NIX_STORE_DIR`](#env-NIX_STORE_DIR)</span>
Overrides the location of the Nix store (default `prefix/store`).
- <span id="env-NIX_DATA_DIR">[`NIX_DATA_DIR`](#env-NIX_DATA_DIR)</span>
Overrides the location of the Nix static data directory (default
`prefix/share`).
- <span id="env-NIX_LOG_DIR">[`NIX_LOG_DIR`](#env-NIX_LOG_DIR)</span>
Overrides the location of the Nix log directory (default
`prefix/var/log/nix`).
- <span id="env-NIX_STATE_DIR">[`NIX_STATE_DIR`](#env-NIX_STATE_DIR)</span>
Overrides the location of the Nix state directory (default
`prefix/var/nix`).
- <span id="env-NIX_CONF_DIR">[`NIX_CONF_DIR`](#env-NIX_CONF_DIR)</span>
Overrides the location of the system Nix configuration directory
(default `prefix/etc/nix`).
- <span id="env-NIX_CONFIG">[`NIX_CONFIG`](#env-NIX_CONFIG)</span>
Applies settings from Nix configuration from the environment.
The content is treated as if it was read from a Nix configuration file.
Settings are separated by the newline character.
- <span id="env-NIX_USER_CONF_FILES">[`NIX_USER_CONF_FILES`](#env-NIX_USER_CONF_FILES)</span>
Overrides the location of the Nix user configuration files to load from.
The default are the locations according to the [XDG Base Directory Specification].
See the [XDG Base Directories](#xdg-base-directories) sub-section for details.
The variable is treated as a list separated by the `:` token.
- <span id="env-TMPDIR">[`TMPDIR`](#env-TMPDIR)</span>
Use the specified directory to store temporary files. In particular,
this includes temporary build directories; these can take up
substantial amounts of disk space. The default is `/tmp`.
- <span id="env-NIX_REMOTE">[`NIX_REMOTE`](#env-NIX_REMOTE)</span>
This variable should be set to `daemon` if you want to use the Nix
daemon to execute Nix operations. This is necessary in [multi-user
Nix installations](@docroot@/installation/multi-user.md). If the Nix
daemon's Unix socket is at some non-standard path, this variable
should be set to `unix://path/to/socket`. Otherwise, it should be
left unset.
- <span id="env-NIX_SHOW_STATS">[`NIX_SHOW_STATS`](#env-NIX_SHOW_STATS)</span>
If set to `1`, Nix will print some evaluation statistics, such as
the number of values allocated.
- <span id="env-NIX_COUNT_CALLS">[`NIX_COUNT_CALLS`](#env-NIX_COUNT_CALLS)</span>
If set to `1`, Nix will print how often functions were called during
Nix expression evaluation. This is useful for profiling your Nix
expressions.
- <span id="env-GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE">[`GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE`](#env-GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE)</span>
If Nix has been configured to use the Boehm garbage collector, this
variable sets the initial size of the heap in bytes. It defaults to
384 MiB. Setting it to a low value reduces memory consumption, but
will increase runtime due to the overhead of garbage collection.
## XDG Base Directories
Nix follows the [XDG Base Directory Specification].
For backwards compatibility, Nix commands will follow the standard only when [`use-xdg-base-directories`] is enabled.
[New Nix commands](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix.md) (experimental) conform to the standard by default.
The following environment variables are used to determine locations of various state and configuration files:
- [`XDG_CONFIG_HOME`]{#env-XDG_CONFIG_HOME} (default `~/.config`)
- [`XDG_STATE_HOME`]{#env-XDG_STATE_HOME} (default `~/.local/state`)
- [`XDG_CACHE_HOME`]{#env-XDG_CACHE_HOME} (default `~/.cache`)
