-Channel URLs have been updated from `https://nixos.org/channels/` to `https://channels.nixos.org/` throughout Nix.
-
-The subdomain provides better reliability with IPv6 support and improved CDN distribution. The old domain apex (`nixos.org/channels/`) currently redirects to the new location but may be deprecated in the future.

-synopsis: "JSON format changes for store path info and derivations"
-prs: []
-issues: []
----
-
-JSON formats for store path info and derivations have been updated with new versions and structured fields.
-
-## Store Path Info JSON (Version 2)
-
-The store path info JSON format has been updated from version 1 to version 2:
-
-- **Added `version` field**:
-
-  All store path info JSON now includes `"version": 2`.
-
-- **Structured `ca` field**:
-
-  Content address is now a structured JSON object instead of a string:
-
-  - Old: `"ca": "fixed:r:sha256:1abc..."`
-  - New: `"ca": {"method": "nar", "hash": {"algorithm": "sha256", "format": "base64", "hash": "EMIJ+giQ..."}}`
-  - Still `null` values for input-addressed store objects
-
-- **Structured hash fields**:
-
-  Hash values (`narHash` and `downloadHash`) are now structured JSON objects instead of strings:
-
-  - Old: `"narHash": "sha256:FePFYIlMuycIXPZbWi7LGEiMmZSX9FMbaQenWBzm1Sc="`
-  - New: `"narHash": {"algorithm": "sha256", "format": "base64", "hash": "FePFYIlM..."}`
-  - Same structure applies to `downloadHash` in NAR info contexts
-
-Nix currently only produces, and doesn't consume this format.
-
-**Affected command**: `nix path-info --json`
-
-## Derivation JSON (Version 4)
-
-The derivation JSON format has been updated from version 3 to version 4:
-
-- **Restructured inputs**:
-
-  Inputs are now nested under an `inputs` object:
-
-  - Old: `"inputSrcs": [...], "inputDrvs": {...}`
-  - New: `"inputs": {"srcs": [...], "drvs": {...}}`
-
-- **Consistent content addresses**:
-
-  Floating content-addressed outputs now use structured JSON format.
-  This is the same format as `ca` in in store path info (after the new version).
-
-Version 3 and earlier formats are *not* accepted when reading.
-
-**Affected command**: `nix derivation`, namely it's `show` and `add` sub-commands.

----
-
-S3 binary cache operations now happen via HTTP, leveraging `libcurl`'s native
-AWS SigV4 authentication instead of the AWS C++ SDK, providing significant
-improvements:
-
-- **Reduced memory usage**: Eliminates memory buffering issues that caused
-  segfaults with large files
-- **Fixed upload reliability**: Resolves AWS SDK chunking errors
-  (`InvalidChunkSizeError`)
-- **Lighter dependencies**: Uses lightweight `aws-crt-cpp` instead of full
-  `aws-cpp-sdk`, reducing build complexity
-
-The new implementation requires curl >= 7.75.0 and `aws-crt-cpp` for credential
-management.
-
-All existing S3 URL formats and parameters remain supported, however the store
-settings for configuring multipart uploads have changed:
-
-- **`multipart-upload`** (default: `false`): Enable multipart uploads for large
-  files. When enabled, files exceeding the multipart threshold will be uploaded
-  in multiple parts.
-
-- **`multipart-threshold`** (default: `100 MiB`): Minimum file size for using
-  multipart uploads. Files smaller than this will use regular PUT requests.
-  Only takes effect when `multipart-upload` is enabled.
-
-- **`multipart-chunk-size`** (default: `5 MiB`): Size of each part in multipart
-  uploads. Must be at least 5 MiB (AWS S3 requirement). Larger chunk sizes
-  reduce the number of requests but use more memory.
-
-- **`buffer-size`**: Has been replaced by `multipart-chunk-size` and is now an alias to it.
-
-Note that this change also means Nix now supports S3 binary cache stores even
-if built without `aws-crt-cpp`, but only for public buckets which do not
-require authentication.

-issues: [7015]
----
-
-S3 binary cache stores now support configuring the storage class for uploaded objects via the `storage-class` parameter. This allows users to optimize costs by selecting appropriate storage tiers based on access patterns.
-
-Example usage:
-
-```bash
-# Use Glacier storage for long-term archival
-nix copy --to 's3://my-bucket?storage-class=GLACIER' /nix/store/...
-
-# Use Intelligent Tiering for automatic cost optimization
-nix copy --to 's3://my-bucket?storage-class=INTELLIGENT_TIERING' /nix/store/...
-```
-
-The storage class applies to both regular uploads and multipart uploads. When not specified, objects use the bucket's default storage class.
-
-See the [S3 storage classes documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/storage-class-intro.html) for available storage classes and their characteristics.

-# Remote Builds
-
-A local Nix installation can forward Nix builds to other machines,
-this allows multiple builds to be performed in parallel.
-
-Remote builds also allow Nix to perform multi-platform builds in a
-semi-transparent way. For example, 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 one is available.
-
-## Requirements
-
-For a local machine to forward a build to a remote machine, the remote machine must:
-
-- Have Nix installed
-- Be running an SSH server, e.g. `sshd`
-- Be accessible via SSH from the local machine over the network
-- Have the local machine's public SSH key in `/etc/ssh/authorized_keys.d/<username>`
-- Have the username of the SSH user in the `trusted-users` setting in `nix.conf`
-
-## Testing
-
-To test connecting to a remote [Nix instance] (in this case `mac`), run:
-
-```console
-nix store info --store ssh://username@mac
-```
-
-To specify an SSH identity file as part of the remote store URI add a
-query parameter, e.g.
-
-```console
-nix store info --store ssh://username@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`.
-
-In a multi-user installation (default), builds are executed by the Nix
-Daemon. The Nix Daemon cannot prompt for a passphrase via the terminal
-or `ssh-agent`, so the SSH key must not have a passphrase.
-
-In addition, the Nix Daemon's user (typically root) needs to have SSH
-access to the remote builder.
-
-Access can be verified by running `sudo su`, and then validating SSH
-access, e.g. by running `ssh mac`. SSH identity files for root users
-are usually stored in `/root/.ssh/` (Linux) or `/var/root/.ssh` (MacOS).
-
-If you get the error
-
-```console
-bash: nix: 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
-```
-
-```console
-Linux
-```
-
-```console
-nix build --impure \
- --expr '(with import <nixpkgs> { system = "x86_64-darwin"; }; runCommand "foo" {} "uname > $out")' \
- --builders 'ssh://mac x86_64-darwin'
-```
-
-```console
-[1/0/1 built, 0.0 MiB DL] building foo on ssh://mac
-```
-
-```console
-cat ./result
-```
-
-```console
-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
-
-After making changes to `nix.conf`, restart the Nix daemon for changes to take effect.
-
-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.)

-  [_user_@]_machine_[:_port_] _paths_
-
-# Description
-
-Given _paths_ from one machine, `nix-copy-closure` computes the [closure](@docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-closure) of those paths (i.e. all their dependencies in the Nix store), and copies [store objects](@docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-object) in that closure to another machine via SSH.
-It doesn’t copy store objects that are already present on the other machine.
-
-> **Note**
->
-> While the Nix store to use on the local machine can be specified on the command line with the [`--store`](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-store) option, the Nix store to be accessed on the remote machine can only be [configured statically](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#configuration-file) on that remote machine.
-
-Since `nix-copy-closure` calls `ssh`, you may need to authenticate with the remote machine.
-In fact, you may be asked for authentication _twice_ because `nix-copy-closure` currently connects twice to the remote machine: first to get the set of paths missing on the target machine, and second to send the dump of those paths.
-When using public key authentication, you can avoid typing the passphrase with `ssh-agent`.
-
-# Options
-
-- `--to`
-
-  Copy the closure of _paths_ from a Nix store accessible from the local machine to the Nix store on the remote _machine_.
-  This is the default behavior.
-
-- `--from`
-
-  Copy the closure of _paths_ from the Nix store on the remote _machine_ to the local machine's specified Nix store.
-
-- `--gzip`
-
-  Enable compression of the SSH connection.
-
-- `--include-outputs`
-
-  Also copy the outputs of [store derivation]s included in the closure.
-
-  [store derivation]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-derivation
-
-- `--use-substitutes` / `-s`
-
-  Attempt to download missing store objects on the target from [substituters](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-substituters).
-  Any store objects that cannot be substituted on the target are still copied normally from the source.
-  This is useful, for instance, if the connection between the source and target machine is slow, but the connection between the target machine and `cache.nixos.org` (the default binary cache server) is fast.

-# Description
-
-The command `nix-env` is used to manipulate Nix user environments. User
-environments are sets of software packages available to a user at some
-point in time. In other words, they are a synthesised view of the
-programs available in the Nix store. There may be many user
-environments: different users can have different environments, and
-individual users can switch between different environments.
-
-`nix-env` takes exactly one *operation* flag which indicates the
-subcommand to be performed. The following operations are available:
-
-- [`--install`](./nix-env/install.md)
-- [`--upgrade`](./nix-env/upgrade.md)
-- [`--uninstall`](./nix-env/uninstall.md)
-- [`--set`](./nix-env/set.md)

-
-- `nix-env --help --<operation>`
-
-  Example: `nix-env --help --install`
-
-# Package sources
-
-`nix-env` can obtain packages from multiple sources:
-
-- An attribute set of derivations from:
-  - The [default Nix expression](@docroot@/command-ref/files/default-nix-expression.md) (by default)
-  - A Nix file, specified via `--file`
-  - A [profile](@docroot@/command-ref/files/profiles.md), specified via `--from-profile`
-  - A Nix expression that is a function which takes default expression as argument, specified via `--from-expression`
-- A [store path](@docroot@/store/store-path.md)
-
-# Selectors
-
-Several operations, such as [`nix-env --query`](./nix-env/query.md) and [`nix-env --install`](./nix-env/install.md), take a list of *arguments* that specify the packages on which to operate.
-
-Packages are identified based on a `name` part and a `version` part of a [symbolic derivation name](@docroot@/language/derivations.md#attr-name):
-
-- `name`: Everything up to but not including the first dash (`-`) that is *not* followed by a letter.
-- `version`: The rest, excluding the separating dash.
-
-> **Example**
->
-> `nix-env` parses the symbolic derivation name `apache-httpd-2.0.48` as:
->
-> ```json
-> {
->   "name": "apache-httpd",
->   "version": "2.0.48"
-> }
-> ```
-
-> **Example**
->
-> `nix-env` parses the symbolic derivation name `firefox.*` as:
->
-> ```json
-> {
->   "name": "firefox.*",
->   "version": ""
-> }
-> ```
-
-The `name` parts of the *arguments* to `nix-env` are treated as extended regular expressions and matched against the `name` parts of derivation names in the package source.
-The match is case-sensitive.
-The regular expression can optionally be followed by a dash (`-`) and a version number; if omitted, any version of the package will match.
-For details on regular expressions, see [**regex**(7)](https://linux.die.net/man/7/regex).
-
-> **Example**
->
-> Common patterns for finding package names with `nix-env`:
->
-> - `firefox`
->
->   Matches the package name `firefox` and any version.
->
-> - `firefox-32.0`
->
->   Matches the package name `firefox` and version `32.0`.
->
-> - `gtk\\+`
->
->   Matches the package name `gtk+`.
->   The `+` character must be escaped using a backslash (`\`) to prevent it from being interpreted as a quantifier, and the backslash must be escaped in turn with another backslash to ensure that the shell passes it on.
->
-> - `.\*`
->
->   Matches any package name.
->   This is the default for most commands.
->
-> - `'.*zip.*'`
->
->   Matches any package name containing the string `zip`.
->   Note the dots: `'*zip*'` does not work, because in a regular expression, the character `*` is interpreted as a quantifier.
->
-> - `'.*(firefox|chromium).*'`
->
->   Matches any package name containing the strings `firefox` or `chromium`.

-
-# Description
-
-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.
-
-[store paths]: @docroot@/store/store-path.md
-
-The arguments *args* map to store paths in a number of possible ways:
-
-- By default, *args* is a set of names denoting derivations in the [default 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.
-
-  [derivation expression]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-derivation-expression
-  [default Nix expression]: @docroot@/command-ref/files/default-nix-expression.md
-  [realised]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-realise
-
-  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 `5`.
-
-  If there are multiple matching derivations with the same priority,
-  then the derivation with the highest version will be installed.
-
-  You can force the installation of multiple derivations with the same
-  name by being specific about the versions. For instance, `nix-env --install
-  gcc-3.3.6 gcc-4.1.1` will install both version of GCC (and will
-  probably cause a user environment conflict\!).
-
-- If [`--attr`](#opt-attr) / `-A` is specified, the arguments are *attribute paths* that select attributes from the [default Nix expression].
-  This is faster than using derivation names and unambiguous.
-  Show the attribute paths of available packages with [`nix-env --query`](./query.md):
-
-  ```console
-  nix-env --query --available --attr-path
-  ```
-
-- If `--from-profile` *path* is given, *args* is a set of names
-  denoting installed [store paths] in the profile *path*. This is an
-  easy way to copy user environment elements from one profile to
-  another.
-
-- If `--from-expression` is given, *args* are [Nix language functions](@docroot@/language/syntax.md#functions) that are called with the [default 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 derivations with the same name.
-
-- If `--priority` *priority* is given, the priority of the derivations being installed is set to *priority*.
-  This can be used to override the priority of the derivations being installed.
-  This is useful if *args* are [store paths], which don't have any priority information.
-
-- If *args* are [store paths] that point to [store derivations][store derivation], then those store derivations are [realised], and the resulting output paths are installed.
-
-- If *args* are [store paths] that do not point to store derivations, then these are [realised] and installed.
-
-- By default all [outputs](@docroot@/language/derivations.md#attr-outputs) are installed for each [store derivation].
-  This can be overridden by adding a `meta.outputsToInstall` attribute on the derivation listing a subset of the output names.
-
-  Example:
-
-  The file `example.nix` defines a derivation with two outputs `foo` and `bar`, each containing a file.
-
-  ```nix
-  # example.nix
-  let
-    pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
-    command = ''
-      ${pkgs.coreutils}/bin/mkdir -p $foo $bar
-      echo foo > $foo/foo-file
-      echo bar > $bar/bar-file
-    '';
-  in
-  derivation {
-    name = "example";
-    builder = "${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
-  installing 'example'
-  $ ls ~/.nix-profile
-  foo-file
-  bar-file
-  manifest.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" ]; }
-  ```
-
-  ```console
-  $ nix-env --install --file example-outputs.nix
-  installing 'example'
-  $ ls ~/.nix-profile
-  bar-file
-  manifest.nix
-  ```

-[store derivation]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-derivation
-
-# Options
-
-- `--prebuilt-only` / `-b`
-
-  Use only derivations for which a substitute is registered, i.e.,
-  there is a pre-built binary available that can be downloaded in lieu
-  of building the derivation. Thus, no packages will be built from
-  source.
-
-- `--preserve-installed` / `-P`
-
-  Do not remove derivations with a name matching one of the
-  derivations being installed. Usually, trying to have two versions of
-  the same package installed in the same generation of a profile will
-  lead to an error in building the generation, due to file name
-  clashes between the two versions. However, this is not the case for
-  all packages.
-
-- `--remove-all` / `-r`
-
-  Remove all previously installed packages first. This is equivalent
-  to running `nix-env --uninstall '.*'` first, except that everything happens
-  in a single transaction.

-# Examples
-
-To install a package using a specific attribute path from the active Nix expression:
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --install --attr gcc40mips
-installing `gcc-4.0.2'
-$ nix-env --install --attr xorg.xorgserver
-installing `xorg-server-1.2.0'
-```
-
-To install a specific version of `gcc` using the derivation name:
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --install gcc-3.3.2
-installing `gcc-3.3.2'
-uninstalling `gcc-3.1'
-```
-
-Using attribute path for selecting a package is preferred,
-as it is much faster and there will not be multiple matches.
-
-Note the previously installed version is removed, since
-`--preserve-installed` was not specified.
-
-To install an arbitrary version:
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --install gcc
-installing `gcc-3.3.2'
-```
-
-To install all derivations in the Nix expression `foo.nix`:
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --file ~/foo.nix --install '.*'
-```
-
-To copy the store path with symbolic name `gcc` from another profile:
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --install --from-profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/foo gcc
-```
-
-To install a specific [store derivation] (typically created by
-`nix-instantiate`):
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --install /nix/store/fibjb1bfbpm5mrsxc4mh2d8n37sxh91i-gcc-3.4.3.drv
-```
-
-To install a specific output path:
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --install /nix/store/y3cgx0xj1p4iv9x0pnnmdhr8iyg741vk-gcc-3.4.3
-```
-
-To install from a Nix expression specified on the command-line:
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --file ./foo.nix --install --expr \
-    'f: (f {system = "i686-linux";}).subversionWithJava'
-```
-
-I.e., this evaluates to `(f: (f {system =
-"i686-linux";}).subversionWithJava) (import ./foo.nix)`, thus selecting
-the `subversionWithJava` attribute from the set returned by calling the
-function defined in `./foo.nix`.
-
-A dry-run tells you which paths will be downloaded or built from source:
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --file '<nixpkgs>' --install --attr hello --dry-run
-(dry run; not doing anything)
-installing ‘hello-2.10’
-this path will be fetched (0.04 MiB download, 0.19 MiB unpacked):
-  /nix/store/wkhdf9jinag5750mqlax6z2zbwhqb76n-hello-2.10
-  ...
-```
-
-To install Firefox from the latest revision in the Nixpkgs/NixOS 14.12
-channel:
-
-```console
-$ nix-env --file https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/nixos-14.12.tar.gz --install --attr firefox
-```

-# Name
-
-`nix-instantiate` - instantiate store derivations from Nix expressions
-
-# Synopsis
-
-`nix-instantiate`
-  [`--parse` | `--eval` [`--strict`] [`--raw` | `--json` | `--xml`] ]
-  [`--read-write-mode`]
-  [`--arg` *name* *value*]
-  [{`--attr`| `-A`} *attrPath*]
-  [`--add-root` *path*]
-  [`--expr` | `-E`]
-  *files…*
-
-`nix-instantiate` `--find-file` *files…*
-
-# Description
-
-The command `nix-instantiate` produces [store derivation]s from (high-level) Nix expressions.
-It evaluates the Nix expressions in each of *files* (which defaults to
-*./default.nix*). Each top-level expression should evaluate to a
-derivation, a list of derivations, or a set of derivations. The paths
-of the resulting store derivations are printed on standard output.
-
-[store derivation]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-derivation
-
-If *files* is the character `-`, then a Nix expression will be read from
-standard input.
-
-# Options
-
-- `--add-root` *path*
-
-  See the [corresponding option](nix-store.md) in `nix-store`.
-
-- `--parse`
-
-  Just parse the input files, and print their abstract syntax trees on
-  standard output as a Nix expression.
-
-- `--eval`
-
-  Just parse and evaluate the input files, and print the resulting
-  values on standard output.
-  Store derivations are not serialized and written to the store, but instead just hashed and discarded.
-
-  > **Warning**
-  >
-  > This option produces output which can be parsed as a Nix expression which
-  > will produce a different result than the input expression when evaluated.
-  > For example, these two Nix expressions print the same result despite
-  > having different meaning:
-  >
-  > ```console
-  > $ nix-instantiate --eval --expr '{ a = {}; }'
-  > { a = <CODE>; }
-  > $ nix-instantiate --eval --expr '{ a = <CODE>; }'
-  > { a = <CODE>; }
-  > ```
-  >
-  > For human-readable output, `nix eval` (experimental) is more informative:
-  >
-  > ```console
-  > $ nix-instantiate --eval --expr 'a: a'
-  > <LAMBDA>
-  > $ nix eval --expr 'a: a'
-  > «lambda @ «string»:1:1»
-  > ```
-  >
-  > For machine-readable output, the `--xml` option produces unambiguous
-  > output:
-  >
-  > ```console
-  > $ nix-instantiate --eval --xml --expr '{ foo = <CODE>; }'
-  > <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
-  > <expr>
-  >   <attrs>
-  >     <attr column="3" line="1" name="foo">
-  >       <unevaluated />
-  >     </attr>
-  >   </attrs>
-  > </expr>
-  > ```
-
-- `--find-file`
-
-  Look up the given files in Nix’s search path (as specified by the
-  `NIX_PATH` environment variable). If found, print the corresponding
-  absolute paths on standard output. For instance, if `NIX_PATH` is
-  `nixpkgs=/home/alice/nixpkgs`, then `nix-instantiate --find-file
-  nixpkgs/default.nix` will print `/home/alice/nixpkgs/default.nix`.
-
-- `--strict`
-
-  When used with `--eval`, recursively evaluate list elements and
-  attributes. Normally, such sub-expressions are left unevaluated
-  (since the Nix language is lazy).
-
-  > **Warning**
-  >
-  > This option can cause non-termination, because lazy data
-  > structures can be infinitely large.
-
-- `--raw`
-
-  When used with `--eval`, the evaluation result must be a string,
-  which is printed verbatim, without quoting, escaping or trailing newline.
-
-- `--json`
-
-  When used with `--eval`, print the resulting value as an JSON
-  representation of the abstract syntax tree rather than as a Nix expression.
-
-- `--xml`
-
-  When used with `--eval`, print the resulting value as an XML
-  representation of the abstract syntax tree rather than as a Nix expression.
-  The schema is the same as that used by the [`toXML`
-  built-in](../language/builtins.md).
-
-- `--read-write-mode`
-
-  When used with `--eval`, perform evaluation in read/write mode so
-  nix language features that require it will still work (at the cost
-  of needing to do instantiation of every evaluated derivation). If
-  this option is not enabled, there may be uninstantiated store paths
-  in the final output.
-
-{{#include ./opt-common.md}}
-
-{{#include ./env-common.md}}
-
-# Examples
-
-Instantiate [store derivation]s from a Nix expression, and build them using `nix-store`:
-
-```console
-$ nix-instantiate test.nix (instantiate)
-/nix/store/cigxbmvy6dzix98dxxh9b6shg7ar5bvs-perl-BerkeleyDB-0.26.drv

-
-You can also give a Nix expression on the command line:
-
-```console
-$ nix-instantiate --expr 'with import <nixpkgs> { }; hello'
-/nix/store/j8s4zyv75a724q38cb0r87rlczaiag4y-hello-2.8.drv
-```
-
-This is equivalent to:
-
-```console
-$ nix-instantiate '<nixpkgs>' --attr hello
-```
-
-Parsing and evaluating Nix expressions:
-
-```console
-$ nix-instantiate --parse --expr '1 + 2'
-1 + 2
-```

-The difference between non-strict and strict evaluation:

-
-The paths *paths* may also be symlinks from outside of the Nix store, to
-the Nix store. In that case, the query is applied to the target of the
-symlink.
-
-# Common query options
-
-- `--use-output` / `-u`
-
-  For each argument to the query that is a [store derivation], apply the
-  query to the output path of the derivation instead.
-
-- `--force-realise` / `-f`
-
-  Realise each argument to the query first (see [`nix-store --realise`](./realise.md)).
-
-[store derivation]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-derivation
-
-# Queries
-
-- `--outputs`
-
-  Prints out the [output paths] of the store
-  derivations *paths*. These are the paths that will be produced when
-  the derivation is built.
-
-  [output paths]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-output-path
-
-- `--references`
-
-  Prints the set of [references] of the store paths
-  *paths*, that is, their immediate dependencies. (For *all*
-  dependencies, use `--requisites`.)
-
-  [references]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-reference
-
-- `--requisites` / `-R`
-
-  Prints out the set of [*requisites*][requisite] (better known as the [closure]) of the store path *paths*.
-
-  [requisite]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-requisite
-  [closure]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-closure
-
-  This query has one option:
-
-    - `--include-outputs`
-      Also include the existing output paths of [store derivation]s,
-      and their closures.
-
-  This query can be used to implement various kinds of deployment. A
-  *source deployment* is obtained by distributing the closure of a
-  store derivation. A *binary deployment* is obtained by distributing
-  the closure of an output path. A *cache deployment* (combined
-  source/binary deployment, including binaries of build-time-only
-  dependencies) is obtained by distributing the closure of a store
-  derivation and specifying the option `--include-outputs`.
-
-- `--referrers`
-
-  Prints the set of [*referrers*][referrer] of the store paths *paths*, that is,
-  the store paths currently existing in the Nix store that refer to
-  one of *paths*. Note that contrary to the references, the set of
-  referrers is not constant; it can change as store paths are added or
-  removed.
-
-  [referrer]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-referrer
-
-- `--referrers-closure`
-
-  Prints the closure of the set of store paths *paths* under the
-  [referrers relation][referrer]; that is, all store paths that directly or
-  indirectly refer to one of *paths*. These are all the path currently
-  in the Nix store that are dependent on *paths*.
-
-  [referrer]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-referrer
-
-- `--deriver` / `-d`
-
-  Prints the [deriver] that was used to build the store paths *paths*. If
-  the path has no deriver (e.g., if it is a source file), or if the
-  deriver is not known (e.g., in the case of a binary-only
-  deployment), the string `unknown-deriver` is printed.
-  The returned deriver is not guaranteed to exist in the local store, for
-  example when *paths* were substituted from a binary cache.
-  Use `--valid-derivers` instead to obtain valid paths only.
-
-  [deriver]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-deriver
-
-- `--valid-derivers`
-
-  Prints a set of derivation files (`.drv`) which are supposed produce
-  said paths when realized. Might print nothing, for example for source paths
-  or paths substituted from a binary cache.
-
-- `--graph`
-
-  Prints the references graph of the store paths *paths* in the format
-  of the `dot` tool of AT\&T's [Graphviz
-  package](http://www.graphviz.org/). This can be used to visualise
-  dependency graphs. To obtain a build-time dependency graph, apply
-  this to a store derivation. To obtain a runtime dependency graph,
-  apply it to an output path.
-
-- `--tree`
-
-  Prints the references graph of the store paths *paths* as a nested
-  ASCII tree. References are ordered by descending closure size; this
-  tends to flatten the tree, making it more readable. The query only
-  recurses into a store path when it is first encountered; this
-  prevents a blowup of the tree representation of the graph.
-
-- `--graphml`
-
-  Prints the references graph of the store paths *paths* in the
-  [GraphML](http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/) file format. This can be
-  used to visualise dependency graphs. To obtain a build-time
-  dependency graph, apply this to a [store derivation]. To obtain a
-  runtime dependency graph, apply it to an output path.
-
-- `--binding` *name* / `-b` *name*
-
-  Prints the value of the attribute *name* (i.e., environment
-  variable) of the [store derivation]s *paths*. It is an error for a
-  derivation to not have the specified attribute.
-
-- `--hash`
-
-  Prints the SHA-256 hash of the contents of the store paths *paths*
-  (that is, the hash of the output of `nix-store --dump` on the given
-  paths). Since the hash is stored in the Nix database, this is a fast
-  operation.
-
-- `--size`
-
-  Prints the size in bytes of the contents of the store paths *paths*
-  — to be precise, the size of the output of `nix-store --dump` on
-  the given paths. Note that the actual disk space required by the
-  store paths may be higher, especially on filesystems with large
-  cluster sizes.
-
-- `--roots`
-
-  Prints the garbage collector roots that point, directly or
-  indirectly, at the store paths *paths*.

-# Running Benchmarks
-
-This guide explains how to build and run performance benchmarks in the Nix codebase.
-
-## Overview
-
-Nix uses the [Google Benchmark](https://github.com/google/benchmark) framework for performance testing. Benchmarks help measure and track the performance of critical operations like derivation parsing.
-
-## Building Benchmarks
-
-Benchmarks are disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled during the build configuration. For accurate results, use a debug-optimized release build.
-
-### Development Environment Setup
-
-First, enter the development shell which includes the necessary dependencies:
-
-```bash
-nix develop .#native-ccacheStdenv
-```
-
-### Configure Build with Benchmarks
-
-From the project root, configure the build with benchmarks enabled and optimization:
-
-```bash
-cd build
-meson configure -Dbenchmarks=true -Dbuildtype=debugoptimized
-```
-
-The `debugoptimized` build type provides:
-- Compiler optimizations for realistic performance measurements
-- Debug symbols for profiling and analysis
-- Balance between performance and debuggability
-
-### Build the Benchmarks
-
-Build the project including benchmarks:
-
-```bash
-ninja
-```
-
-This will create benchmark executables in the build directory. Currently available:
-- `build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks` - Store-related performance benchmarks
-
-Additional benchmark executables will be created as more benchmarks are added to the codebase.
-
-## Running Benchmarks
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-Run benchmark executables directly. For example, to run store benchmarks:
-
-```bash
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks
-```
-
-As more benchmark executables are added, run them similarly from their respective build directories.
-
-### Filtering Benchmarks
-
-Run specific benchmarks using regex patterns:
-
-```bash
-# Run only derivation parser benchmarks
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks --benchmark_filter="derivation.*"
-
-# Run only benchmarks for hello.drv
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks --benchmark_filter=".*hello.*"
-```
-
-### Output Formats
-
-Generate benchmark results in different formats:
-
-```bash
-# JSON output
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks --benchmark_format=json > results.json
-
-# CSV output
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks --benchmark_format=csv > results.csv
-```
-
-### Advanced Options
-
-```bash
-# Run benchmarks multiple times for better statistics
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks --benchmark_repetitions=10
-
-# Set minimum benchmark time (useful for micro-benchmarks)
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks --benchmark_min_time=2
-
-# Compare against baseline
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks --benchmark_baseline=baseline.json
-
-# Display time in custom units
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks --benchmark_time_unit=ms
-```
-
-## Writing New Benchmarks
-
-To add new benchmarks:
-
-1. Create a new `.cc` file in the appropriate `*-tests` directory
-2. Include the benchmark header:
-   ```cpp
-   #include <benchmark/benchmark.h>
-   ```
-
-3. Write benchmark functions:
-   ```cpp
-   static void BM_YourBenchmark(benchmark::State & state)
-   {
-       // Setup code here
-
-       for (auto _ : state) {
-           // Code to benchmark
-       }
-   }
-   BENCHMARK(BM_YourBenchmark);
-   ```
-
-4. Add the file to the corresponding `meson.build`:
-   ```meson
-   benchmarks_sources = files(
-       'your-benchmark.cc',
-       # existing benchmarks...
-   )
-   ```
-
-## Profiling with Benchmarks
-
-For deeper performance analysis, combine benchmarks with profiling tools:
-
-```bash
-# Using Linux perf
-perf record ./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks
-perf report
-```
-
-### Using Valgrind Callgrind
-
-Valgrind's callgrind tool provides detailed profiling information that can be visualized with kcachegrind:
-
-```bash
-# Profile with callgrind
-valgrind --tool=callgrind ./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks
-
-# Visualize the results with kcachegrind
-kcachegrind callgrind.out.*
-```
-
-This provides:
-- Function call graphs
-- Instruction-level profiling
-- Source code annotation
-- Interactive visualization of performance bottlenecks
-
-## Continuous Performance Testing
-
-```bash
-# Save baseline results
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks --benchmark_format=json > baseline.json
-
-# Compare against baseline in CI
-./build/src/libstore-tests/nix-store-benchmarks --benchmark_baseline=baseline.json
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Benchmarks not building
-
-Ensure benchmarks are enabled:
-```bash
-meson configure build | grep benchmarks
-# Should show: benchmarks true
-```
-
-### Inconsistent results
-
-- Ensure your system is not under heavy load
-- Disable CPU frequency scaling for consistent results
-- Run benchmarks multiple times with `--benchmark_repetitions`

-# Building Nix
-
-This section provides some notes on how to start hacking on Nix.
-To get the latest version of Nix from GitHub:
-
-```console
-$ git clone https://github.com/NixOS/nix.git
-$ cd nix
-```
-
-> **Note**
->
-> The following instructions assume you already have some version of Nix installed locally, so that you can use it to set up the development environment.
-> If you don't have it installed, follow the [installation instructions](../installation/index.md).
-
-
-To build all dependencies and start a shell in which all environment variables are set up so that those dependencies can be found:
-
-```console
-$ nix-shell
-```
-
-To get a shell with one of the other [supported compilation environments](#compilation-environments):
-
-```console
-$ nix-shell --attr devShells.x86_64-linux.native-clangStdenv
-```
-
-> **Note**
->
-> You can use `native-ccacheStdenv` to drastically improve rebuild time.
-> By default, [ccache](https://ccache.dev) keeps artifacts in `~/.cache/ccache/`.
-
-To build Nix itself in this shell:
-
-```console
-[nix-shell]$ out="$(pwd)/outputs/out" dev=$out debug=$out mesonFlags+=" --prefix=${out}"
-[nix-shell]$ dontAddPrefix=1 configurePhase
-[nix-shell]$ buildPhase
-```
-
-To test it:
-
-```console
-[nix-shell]$ checkPhase
-```
-
-To install it in `$(pwd)/outputs`:
-
-```console
-[nix-shell]$ installPhase
-[nix-shell]$ ./outputs/out/bin/nix --version
-nix (Nix) 2.12
-```
-
-To build a release version of Nix for the current operating system and CPU architecture:
-
-```console
-$ nix-build
-```
-
-You can also build Nix for one of the [supported platforms](#platforms).
-
-## Building Nix with flakes
-
-This section assumes you are using Nix with the [`flakes`] and [`nix-command`] experimental features enabled.
-
-[`flakes`]: @docroot@/development/experimental-features.md#xp-feature-flakes
-[`nix-command`]: @docroot@/development/experimental-features.md#xp-feature-nix-command
-
-To build all dependencies and start a shell in which all environment variables are set up so that those dependencies can be found:
-
-```console
-$ nix develop
-```
-
-This shell also adds `./outputs/bin/nix` to your `$PATH` so you can run `nix` immediately after building it.
-
-To get a shell with one of the other [supported compilation environments](#compilation-environments):
-
-```console
-$ nix develop .#native-clangStdenv
-```
-
-> **Note**
->
-> Use `ccacheStdenv` to drastically improve rebuild time.
-> By default, [ccache](https://ccache.dev) keeps artifacts in `~/.cache/ccache/`.
-
-To build Nix itself in this shell:
-
-```console
-[nix-shell]$ configurePhase
-[nix-shell]$ buildPhase
-```
-
-To test it:
-
-```console
-[nix-shell]$ checkPhase
-```
-
-To install it in `$(pwd)/outputs`:
-
-```console
-[nix-shell]$ installPhase
-[nix-shell]$ nix --version
-nix (Nix) 2.12
-```
-
-For more information on running and filtering tests, see
-[`testing.md`](./testing.md).
-
-To build a release version of Nix for the current operating system and CPU architecture:
-
-```console
-$ nix build
-```
-
-You can also build Nix for one of the [supported platforms](#platforms).
-
-## Platforms
-
-Nix can be built for various platforms, as specified in [`flake.nix`]:
-
-[`flake.nix`]: https://github.com/nixos/nix/blob/master/flake.nix
-
-- `x86_64-linux`
-- `x86_64-darwin`
-- `i686-linux`
-- `aarch64-linux`
-- `aarch64-darwin`
-- `armv6l-linux`
-- `armv7l-linux`
-- `riscv64-linux`
-
-In order to build Nix for a different platform than the one you're currently
-on, you need a way for your current Nix installation to build code for that
-platform. Common solutions include [remote build machines] and [binary format emulation]
-(only supported on NixOS).
-
-[remote builders]: @docroot@/language/derivations.md#attr-builder
-[binary format emulation]: https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/options.html#opt-boot.binfmt.emulatedSystems
-
-Given such a setup, executing the build only requires selecting the respective attribute.
-For example, to compile for `aarch64-linux`:
-
-```console
-$ nix-build --attr packages.aarch64-linux.default
-```
-
-or for Nix with the [`flakes`] and [`nix-command`] experimental features enabled:
-
-```console
-$ nix build .#packages.aarch64-linux.default
-```
-
-Cross-compiled builds are available for:
-- `armv6l-linux`
-- `armv7l-linux`
-- `riscv64-linux`
-Add more [system types](#system-type) to `crossSystems` in `flake.nix` to bootstrap Nix on unsupported platforms.
-
-### Building for multiple platforms at once
-
-It is useful to perform multiple cross and native builds on the same source tree,
-for example to ensure that better support for one platform doesn't break the build for another.
-Meson thankfully makes this very easy by confining all build products to the build directory --- one simple shares the source directory between multiple build directories, each of which contains the build for Nix to a different platform.
-
-Here's how to do that:
-
-1. Instruct Nixpkgs's infra where we want Meson to put its build directory
-
-   ```bash
-   mesonBuildDir=build-my-variant-name
-   ```
-
-1. Configure as usual
-
-   ```bash
-   configurePhase
-   ```
-
-3. Build as usual
-
-   ```bash
-   buildPhase
-   ```
-
-## System type
-
-Nix uses a string with the following format to identify the *system type* or *platform* it runs on:
-
-```
-<cpu>-<os>[-<abi>]
-```
-
-It is set when Nix is compiled for the given system, and based on the output of Meson's [`host_machine` information](https://mesonbuild.com/Reference-manual_builtin_host_machine.html)>
-
-```
-<cpu>-<vendor>-<os>[<version>][-<abi>]
-```
-
-When cross-compiling Nix with Meson for local development, you need to specify a [cross-file](https://mesonbuild.com/Cross-compilation.html) using the `--cross-file` option. Cross-files define the target architecture and toolchain. When cross-compiling Nix with Nix, Nixpkgs takes care of this for you.
-
-In the nix flake we also have some cross-compilation targets available:
-
-```
-nix build .#nix-everything-riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu
-nix build .#nix-everything-armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
-nix build .#nix-everything-armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
-nix build .#nix-everything-x86_64-unknown-freebsd
-nix build .#nix-everything-x86_64-w64-mingw32
-```
-
-For historic reasons and backward-compatibility, some CPU and OS identifiers are translated as follows:
-
-| `host_machine.cpu_family()` | `host_machine.endian()` | Nix                 |
-|-----------------------------|-------------------------|---------------------|
-| `x86`                       |                         | `i686`              |
-| `arm`                       |                         | `host_machine.cpu()`|
-| `ppc`                       | `little`                | `powerpcle`         |
-| `ppc64`                     | `little`                | `powerpc64le`       |
-| `ppc`                       | `big`                   | `powerpc`           |
-| `ppc64`                     | `big`                   | `powerpc64`         |
-| `mips`                      | `little`                | `mipsel`            |
-| `mips64`                    | `little`                | `mips64el`          |
-| `mips`                      | `big`                   | `mips`              |
-| `mips64`                    | `big`                   | `mips64`            |
-
-## Compilation environments
-
-Nix can be compiled using multiple environments:
-
-- `stdenv`: default;
-- `gccStdenv`: force the use of `gcc` compiler;
-- `clangStdenv`: force the use of `clang` compiler;
-- `ccacheStdenv`: enable [ccache], a compiler cache to speed up compilation.
-
-To build with one of those environments, you can use
-
-```console
-$ nix build .#nix-cli-ccacheStdenv
-```
-
-for flake-enabled Nix, or
-
-```console
-$ nix-build --attr nix-cli-ccacheStdenv
-```
-
-for classic Nix.
-
-You can use any of the other supported environments in place of `nix-cli-ccacheStdenv`.
-
-## Editor integration
-
-The `clangd` LSP server is installed by default on the `clang`-based `devShell`s.
-See [supported compilation environments](#compilation-environments) and instructions how to set up a shell [with flakes](#building-nix-with-flakes) or in [classic Nix](#building-nix).
-
-To use the LSP with your editor, you will want a `compile_commands.json` file telling `clangd` how we are compiling the code.
-Meson's configure always produces this inside the build directory.
-
-Configure your editor to use the `clangd` from the `.#native-clangStdenv` shell.
-You can do that either by running it inside the development shell, or by using [nix-direnv](https://github.com/nix-community/nix-direnv) and [the appropriate editor plugin](https://github.com/direnv/direnv/wiki#editor-integration).
-
-> **Note**
->
-> For some editors (e.g. Visual Studio Code), you may need to install a [special extension](https://open-vsx.org/extension/llvm-vs-code-extensions/vscode-clangd) for the editor to interact with `clangd`.
-> Some other editors (e.g. Emacs, Vim) need a plugin to support LSP servers in general (e.g. [lsp-mode](https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode) for Emacs and [vim-lsp](https://github.com/prabirshrestha/vim-lsp) for vim).
-> Editor-specific setup is typically opinionated, so we will not cover it here in more detail.
-
-## Formatting and pre-commit hooks
-
-You may run the formatters as a one-off using:
-
-```console
-./maintainers/format.sh
-```
-
-### Pre-commit hooks
-
-If you'd like to run the formatters before every commit, install the hooks:
-
-```
-pre-commit-hooks-install
-```
-
-This installs [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) using [cachix/git-hooks.nix](https://github.com/cachix/git-hooks.nix).
-
-When making a commit, pay attention to the console output.
-If it fails, run `git add --patch` to approve the suggestions _and commit again_.
-
-To refresh pre-commit hook's config file, do the following:
-1. Exit the development shell and start it again by running `nix develop`.
-2. If you also use the pre-commit hook, also run `pre-commit-hooks-install` again.
-
-### VSCode
-
-Insert the following json into your `.vscode/settings.json` file to configure `nixfmt`.
-This will be picked up by the _Format Document_ command, `"editor.formatOnSave"`, etc.
-
-```json
-{
-  "nix.formatterPath": "nixfmt",
-  "nix.serverSettings": {
-    "nixd": {
-      "formatting": {
-        "command": [
-          "nixfmt"
-        ],
-      },
-    },
-    "nil": {
-      "formatting": {
-        "command": [
-          "nixfmt"
-        ],
-      },
-    },
-  },

-  See [`maintainers/release-process.md`](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/maintainers/release-process.md)
-
-- [`backport-*-to-*`](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/branches/all?query=backport)
-
-  Generally branches created by the backport action.
-
-  See [`maintainers/backporting.md`](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/maintainers/backporting.md)
-
-- [_other_](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/branches/all)
-
-  Branches that do not conform to the above patterns should be feature branches.
-
-## Reverting
-
-If a change turns out to be merged by mistake, or contain a regression, it may be reverted.
-A revert is not a rejection of the contribution, but merely part of an effective development process.
-It makes sure that development keeps running smoothly, with minimal uncertainty, and less overhead.
-If maintainers have to worry too much about avoiding reverts, they would not be able to merge as much.
-By embracing reverts as a good part of the development process, everyone wins.
-
-However, taking a step back may be frustrating, so maintainers will be extra supportive on the next try.

-# Debugging Nix
-
-This section shows how to build and debug Nix with debug symbols enabled.
-
-Additionally, see [Testing Nix](./testing.md) for further instructions on how to debug Nix in the context of a unit test or functional test.
-
-## Building Nix with Debug Symbols
-
-In the development shell, set the `mesonBuildType` environment variable to `debug` before configuring the build:
-
-```console
-[nix-shell]$ export mesonBuildType=debugoptimized
-```
-
-Then, proceed to build Nix as described in [Building Nix](./building.md).
-This will build Nix with debug symbols, which are essential for effective debugging.
-
-It is also possible to build without debugging for faster build:
-
-```console
-[nix-shell]$ NIX_HARDENING_ENABLE=$(printLines $NIX_HARDENING_ENABLE | grep -v fortify)
-[nix-shell]$ export mesonBuildType=debug

-## Building Nix with sanitizers
-
-Nix can be built with [Address](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AddressSanitizer.html) and
-[UB](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer.html) sanitizers using LLVM
-or GCC. This is useful when debugging memory corruption issues.
-
-```console
-[nix-shell]$ export mesonBuildType=debugoptimized
-[nix-shell]$ appendToVar mesonFlags "-Dlibexpr:gc=disabled" # Disable Boehm
-[nix-shell]$ appendToVar mesonFlags "-Dbindings=false" # Disable nix-perl
-[nix-shell]$ appendToVar mesonFlags "-Db_sanitize=address,undefined"
-```
-
-## Debugging the Nix Binary
-
-Obtain your preferred debugger within the development shell:
-
-```console
-[nix-shell]$ nix-shell -p gdb
-```
-
-On macOS, use `lldb`:
-
-```console
-[nix-shell]$ nix-shell -p lldb
-```
-
-### Launching the Debugger
-
-To debug the Nix binary, run:
-
-```console
-[nix-shell]$ gdb --args ../outputs/out/bin/nix
-```
-
-On macOS, use `lldb`:
-
-```console
-[nix-shell]$ lldb -- ../outputs/out/bin/nix
-```
-
-### Using the Debugger
-
-Inside the debugger, you can set breakpoints, run the program, and inspect variables.
-
-```gdb
-(gdb) break main
-(gdb) run <arguments>
-```
-
-Refer to the [GDB Documentation](https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/documentation/) for comprehensive usage instructions.
-
-On macOS, use `lldb`:
-
-```lldb
-(lldb) breakpoint set --name main
-(lldb) process launch -- <arguments>
-```

-# JSON guideline
-
-Nix consumes and produces JSON in a variety of contexts.
-These guidelines ensure consistent practices for all our JSON interfaces, for ease of use, and so that experience in one part carries over to another.
-
-## Extensibility
-
-The schema of JSON input and output should allow for backwards compatible extension.
-This section explains how to achieve this.
-
-Two definitions are helpful here, because while JSON only defines one "key-value" object type, we use it to cover two use cases:
-
- - **dictionary**: a map from names to value that all have the same type.
-   In C++ this would be a `std::map` with string keys.
-
- - **record**: a fixed set of attributes each with their own type.
-   In C++, this would be represented by a `struct`.
-
-It is best not to mix these use cases, as that may lead to incompatibilities when the schema changes.
-For example, adding a record field to a dictionary breaks consumers that assume all JSON object fields to have the same meaning and type, and dictionary items with a colliding name can not be represented anymore.
-
-This leads to the following guidelines:
-
- - The top-level (root) value must be a record.
-
-   Otherwise, one can not change the structure of a command's output.
-
- - The value of a dictionary item must be a record.
-
-   Otherwise, the item type can not be extended.
-
- - List items should be records.
-
-   Otherwise, one can not change the structure of the list items.
-
-   If the order of the items does not matter, and each item has a unique key that is a string, consider representing the list as a dictionary instead.
-   If the order of the items needs to be preserved, return a list of records.
-
- - Streaming JSON should return records.
-
-   An example of a streaming JSON format is [JSON lines](https://jsonlines.org/), where each line represents a JSON value.
-   These JSON values can be considered top-level values or list items, and they must be records.
-
-### Examples
-
-This is bad, because all keys must be assumed to be store types:
-
-```json
-{
-  "local": { ... },
-  "remote": { ... },
-  "http": { ... }
-}
-```
-
-This is good, because the it is extensible at the root, and is somewhat self-documenting:
-
-```json
-{
-  "storeTypes": { "local": { ... }, ... },
-  "pluginSupport": true
-}
-```
-
-While the dictionary of store types seems like a very complete response at first, a use case may arise that warrants returning additional information.
-For example, the presence of plugin support may be crucial information for a client to proceed when their desired store type is missing.
-
-
-
-The following representation is bad because it is not extensible:
-
-```json
-{ "outputs": [ "out" "bin" ] }
-```
-
-However, simply converting everything to records is not enough, because the order of outputs must be preserved:
-
-```json
-{ "outputs": { "bin": {}, "out": {} } }
-```
-
-The first item is the default output. Deriving this information from the outputs ordering is not great, but this is how Nix currently happens to work.
-While it is possible for a JSON parser to preserve the order of fields, we can not rely on this capability to be present in all JSON libraries.
-
-This representation is extensible and preserves the ordering:
-
-```json
-{ "outputs": [ { "outputName": "out" }, { "outputName": "bin" } ] }
-```
-
-## Self-describing values
-
-As described in the previous section, it's crucial that schemas can be extended with new fields without breaking compatibility.
-However, that should *not* mean we use the presence/absence of fields to indicate optional information *within* a version of the schema.
-Instead, always include the field, and use `null` to indicate the "nothing" case.
-
-### Examples
-
-Here are two JSON objects:
-
-```json
-{
-  "foo": {}
-}
-```
-```json
-{
-  "foo": {},
-  "bar": {}
-}
-```
-
-Since they differ in which fields they contain, they should *not* both be valid values of the same schema.
-At most, they can match two different schemas where the second (with `foo` and `bar`) is considered a newer version of the first (with just `foo`).
-Within each version, all fields are mandatory (always `foo`, and always `foo` and `bar`).
-Only *between* each version, `bar` gets added as a new mandatory field.
-
-Here are another two JSON objects:
-
-```json
-{ "foo": null }
-```
-```json
-{ "foo": { "bar": 1 } }
-```
-
-Since they both contain a `foo` field, they could be valid values of the same schema.
-The schema would have `foo` has an optional field, which is either `null` or an object where `bar` is an integer.

-
-There may also be references to Nix in
-

-- `/etc/bashrc`
-- `/etc/profile`
-- `/etc/zsh/zshrc`
-- `/etc/zshrc`
-
-which you may remove.
-
-### FreeBSD
-
-1. Stop and remove the Nix daemon service:
-
-   ```console
-   sudo service nix-daemon stop
-   sudo rm -f /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nix-daemon
-   sudo sysrc -x nix_daemon_enable
-   ```
-
-2. Remove files created by Nix:
-
-   ```console
-   sudo rm -rf /etc/nix /usr/local/etc/profile.d/nix.sh /nix ~root/.nix-channels ~root/.nix-defexpr ~root/.nix-profile ~root/.cache/nix
-   ```

-   for i in $(seq 1 32); do
-     sudo pw userdel nixbld$i
-   done
-   sudo pw groupdel nixbld
-   ```
-
-4. There may also be references to Nix in:
-   - `/usr/local/etc/bashrc`
-   - `/usr/local/etc/zshrc`
-   - Shell configuration files in users' home directories
-
-   which you may remove.
-
-### macOS
-
-> **Updating to macOS 15 Sequoia**
->
-> If you recently updated to macOS 15 Sequoia and are getting
-> ```console
-> error: the user '_nixbld1' in the group 'nixbld' does not exist
-> ```
-> when running Nix commands, refer to GitHub issue [NixOS/nix#10892](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/10892) for instructions to fix your installation without reinstalling.
-
-1. If system-wide shell initialisation files haven't been altered since installing Nix, use the backups made by the installer:
-
-   ```console
-   sudo mv /etc/zshrc.backup-before-nix /etc/zshrc
-   sudo mv /etc/bashrc.backup-before-nix /etc/bashrc
-   sudo mv /etc/bash.bashrc.backup-before-nix /etc/bash.bashrc
-   ```
-
-   Otherwise, edit `/etc/zshrc`, `/etc/bashrc`, and `/etc/bash.bashrc` to remove the lines sourcing `nix-daemon.sh`, which should look like this:
-
-   ```bash
-   # Nix
-   if [ -e '/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.sh' ]; then
-     . '/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.sh'
-   fi
-   # End Nix
-   ```
-
-2. Stop and remove the Nix daemon services:
-
-   ```console
-   sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.nix-daemon.plist
-   sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.nix-daemon.plist
-   sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.darwin-store.plist
-   sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.darwin-store.plist
-   ```
-
-   This stops the Nix daemon and prevents it from being started next time you boot the system.
-
-3. Remove the `nixbld` group and the `_nixbuildN` users:
-
-   ```console
-   sudo dscl . -delete /Groups/nixbld
-   for u in $(sudo dscl . -list /Users | grep _nixbld); do sudo dscl . -delete /Users/$u; done
-   ```
-
-   This will remove all the build users that no longer serve a purpose.
-
-4. Edit fstab using `sudo vifs` to remove the line mounting the Nix Store volume on `/nix`, which looks like
-
-   ```
-   UUID=<uuid> /nix apfs rw,noauto,nobrowse,suid,owners
-   ```
-   or
-
-   ```
-   LABEL=Nix\040Store /nix apfs rw,nobrowse
-   ```
-
-   by setting the cursor on the respective line using the arrow keys, and pressing `dd`, and then `:wq` to save the file.
-
-   This will prevent automatic mounting of the Nix Store volume.
-
-5. Edit `/etc/synthetic.conf` to remove the `nix` line.
-   If this is the only line in the file you can remove it entirely:
-
-   ```bash
-   if [ -f /etc/synthetic.conf ]; then
-     if [ "$(cat /etc/synthetic.conf)" = "nix" ]; then
-       sudo rm /etc/synthetic.conf
-     else
-       sudo vi /etc/synthetic.conf
-     fi
-   fi
-   ```
-
-   This will prevent the creation of the empty `/nix` directory.
-
-6. Remove the files Nix added to your system, except for the store:
-
-   ```console
-   sudo rm -rf /etc/nix /var/root/.nix-profile /var/root/.nix-defexpr /var/root/.nix-channels ~/.nix-profile ~/.nix-defexpr ~/.nix-channels
-   ```
-
-
-7. Remove the Nix Store volume:
-
-   ```console
-   sudo diskutil apfs deleteVolume /nix
-   ```
-
-   This will remove the Nix Store volume and everything that was added to the store.
-
-   If the output indicates that the command couldn't remove the volume, you should make sure you don't have an _unmounted_ Nix Store volume.
-   Look for a "Nix Store" volume in the output of the following command:
-
-   ```console
-   diskutil list
-   ```
-
-   If you _do_ find a "Nix Store" volume, delete it by running `diskutil apfs deleteVolume` with the store volume's `diskXsY` identifier.
-
-   If you get an error that the volume is in use by the kernel, reboot and immediately delete the volume before starting any other process.
-
-> **Note**
->
-> After you complete the steps here, you will still have an empty `/nix` directory.
-> This is an expected sign of a successful uninstall.
-> The empty `/nix` directory will disappear the next time you reboot.
->
-> You do not have to reboot to finish uninstalling Nix.
-> The uninstall is complete.
-> macOS (Catalina+) directly controls root directories, and its read-only root will prevent you from manually deleting the empty `/nix` mountpoint.
-
-## Single User
-
-To remove a [single-user installation](./installing-binary.md#single-user-installation) of Nix, run:
-
-```console
-rm -rf /nix ~/.nix-channels ~/.nix-defexpr ~/.nix-profile
-```
-You might also want to manually remove references to Nix from your `~/.profile`.

doc/manual/source/language/evaluation.md

@@ -1,77 +0,0 @@
-# Evaluation
-
-Evaluation is the process of turning a Nix expression into a [Nix value](types.md).
-
-This happens by a number of rules, such as:
-- Constructing values from literals. 
-  For example the number literal `1` is turned into the number value `1`.
-- Applying operators
-  For example the addition operator `+` is applied to two number values to produce a new number value.
-- Applying built-in functions
-  For example the expression `builtins.isInt 1` is evaluated to `true`.
-- Applying user-defined functions
-  For example the expression `(x: x + 1) 10` can[*](#laziness) be thought of rewriting `x` in the function body to the argument, `10 + 1`, which is then evaluated to `11`.
-
-These rules are applied as needed, driven by the specific use of the expression. For example, this can occur in the Nix command line interface or interactively with the [repl (read-eval-print loop)](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-repl.md), which is a useful tool when learning about evaluation.
-
-# Details
-
-## Values {#values}
-
-Nix values can be thought of as a subset of Nix expressions.
-For example, the expression `1 + 2` is not a value, because it can be reduced to `3`. The expression `3` is a value, because it cannot be reduced any further.
-
-Evaluation normally happens by applying rules to the "head" of the expression, which is the outermost part of the expression. The head of an expression like `[ 1 2 ]` is the list literal (`[ a1 a2 ]`), for `1 + 2` it is the addition operator (`+`), and for `f 1` it is the function application "operator" (` `).
-
-After applying all possible rules to the head until no rules can be applied, the expression is in "weak head normal form" (WHNF). This means that the outermost constructor of the expression is evaluated, but the inner values may or may not be. "Weak" only signifies that the expression may be a function. This is an historical or academic artifact, and Nix has no use for the non-weak "head normal form".
-
-## Laziness and thunks {#laziness}
-
-The Nix language implements _call by need_ (as opposed to _call by value_ or _call by reference_). <!-- No wikipedia link, which would be a huge distraction. --> Call by need is commonly known as laziness in functional programming, as it is a specific implementation of the concept where evaluation is deferred until the result is required, aiming to only evaluate the parts of an expression that are needed to produce the final result.
-
-Furthermore, the result of evaluation is preserved, in values, in `let` bindings, in function _parameters_, which behave a lot like `let` bindings, but with the notable exception of function _calls_. Results of function calls rely on being put into `let` bindings, etc to be reused. <!-- which would be prohibitively expensive and too strict, or we wouldn't have a cache key for the argument -->
-
-When discussing the process of evaluation in lower level terms, we may define values not as a subset of expressions, but separately, where each "value" is either a data constructor, a function or a _thunk_. A thunk is a delayed computation, represented by an expression reference and a "closure" &ndash; the values for the lexical scope around the delayed expression.
-
-As a user of the language, you generally don't have to think about thunks, as they are not part of the language semantics, but you may encounter them in the repl, in the [C API] or in discussions.
-
-## Strictness
-
-Instead of thinking about thunks, it is often more productive to think in terms of _strictness_.
-This term is used in functional programming to refer to the opposite of laziness, i.e. not just for something like error propagation. It refers to the need to evaluate certain expressions before evaluation can produce any result.
-
-Statements about strictness usually implicitly refer to weak head normal form.
-For example, we can say that the following function is strict in its argument:
-
-```nix
-x: isAttrs x || isFunction x
-```
-
-The above function must be strict in its argument `x` because determining its type requires evaluating `x` to at least some degree.
-
-The following function is not strict in its argument:
-
-```nix
-x: { isOk = isAttrs x || isFunction x; }
-```
-
-It is not strict, because it can return the attribute set before evaluating `x`.
-The attribute value for `isOk` _is_ strict in `x`.
-
-A function with a _set pattern_ is always strict in its argument, as a consequence of checking the argument's type and/or attribute names:
-
-```nix
-let f = { ... }: "ok";
-in f (throw "kablam")
-=> error: kablam
-```
-
-However, a set pattern does not add any strictness beyond WHNF of the attribute set argument.
-
-```nix
-let f = orig@{ x, ... }: "ok";
-in f { x = throw "error"; y = throw "error"; }
-=> "ok"
-```

-## Inspecting string contexts
-
-Most basically, [`builtins.hasContext`] will tell whether a string has a non-empty context.
-
-When more granular information is needed, [`builtins.getContext`] can be used.
-It creates an [attribute set] representing the string context, which can be inspected as usual.

-[attribute set]: ./types.md#type-attrs
-
-## Clearing string contexts
-
-[`builtins.unsafeDiscardStringContext`](./builtins.md#builtins-unsafeDiscardStringContext) will make a copy of a string, but with an empty string context.
-The returned string can be used in more ways, e.g. by operators that require the string context to be empty.
-The requirement to explicitly discard the string context in such use cases helps ensure that string context elements are not lost by mistake.
-The "unsafe" marker is only there to remind that Nix normally guarantees that dependencies are tracked, whereas the returned string has lost them.
-
-## Constructing string contexts
-
-[`builtins.appendContext`] will create a copy of a string, but with additional string context elements.
-The context is specified explicitly by an [attribute set] in the format that [`builtins.hasContext`] produces.
-A string with arbitrary contexts can be made like this:
-
-1. Create a string with the desired string context elements.
-   (The contents of the string do not matter.)
-2. Dump its context with [`builtins.getContext`].
-3. Combine it with a base string and repeated [`builtins.appendContext`] calls.

-# String literals
-
-A *string literal* represents a [string](types.md#type-string) value.
-
-> **Syntax**
->
-> *expression* → *string*
->
-> *string* → `"` ( *string_char*\* [*interpolation_element*][string interpolation] )* *string_char*\* `"`
->
-> *string* → `''` ( *indented_string_char*\* [*interpolation_element*][string interpolation] )* *indented_string_char*\* `''`
->
-> *string* → *uri*
->
-> *string_char* ~ `[^"$\\]|\$(?!\{)|\\.`
->
-> *indented_string_char* ~ `[^$']|\$\$|\$(?!\{)|''[$']|''\\.|'(?!')`
->
-> *uri* ~ `[A-Za-z][+\-.0-9A-Za-z]*:[!$%&'*+,\-./0-9:=?@A-Z_a-z~]+`
-
-Strings can be written in three ways.
-
-The most common way is to enclose the string between double quotes, e.g., `"foo bar"`.
-Strings can span multiple lines.
-The results of other expressions can be included into a string by enclosing them in `${ }`, a feature known as [string interpolation].
-
-[string interpolation]: ./string-interpolation.md
-
-The following must be escaped to represent them within a string, by prefixing with a backslash (`\`):
-
-- Double quote (`"`)
-
-> **Example**
->
-> ```nix
-> "\""
-> ```
->
->     "\""
-
-- Backslash (`\`)
-
-> **Example**
->
-> ```nix
-> "\\"
-> ```
->
->     "\\"
-
-- Dollar sign followed by an opening curly bracket (`${`) – "dollar-curly"
-
-> **Example**
->
-> ```nix
-> "\${"
-> ```
->
->     "\${"
-
-The newline, carriage return, and tab characters can be written as `\n`, `\r` and `\t`, respectively.
-
-A "double-dollar-curly" (`$${`) can be written literally.
-
-> **Example**
->
-> ```nix
-> "$${"
-> ```
->
->     "$\${"
-
-String values are output on the terminal with Nix-specific escaping.
-Strings written to files will contain the characters encoded by the escaping.
-
-The second way to write string literals is as an *indented string*, which is enclosed between pairs of *double single-quotes* (`''`), like so:
-
-```nix
-''
-This is the first line.
-This is the second line.
-  This is the third line.
-''
-```
-
-This kind of string literal intelligently strips indentation from
-the start of each line. To be precise, it strips from each line a
-number of spaces equal to the minimal indentation of the string as a
-whole (disregarding the indentation of empty lines). For instance,
-the first and second line are indented two spaces, while the third
-line is indented four spaces. Thus, two spaces are stripped from
-each line, so the resulting string is
-
-```nix
-"This is the first line.\nThis is the second line.\n  This is the third line.\n"
-```
-
-> **Note**
->
-> Whitespace and newline following the opening `''` is ignored if there is no non-whitespace text on the initial line.
-
-> **Warning**
->
-> Prefixed tab characters are not stripped.
->
-> > **Example**
-> >
-> > The following indented string is prefixed with tabs:
-> >
-> > <pre><code class="nohighlight">''
-> > 	all:
-> > 		@echo hello
-> > ''
-> > </code></pre>
-> >
-> >     "\tall:\n\t\t@echo hello\n"
-
-Indented strings support [string interpolation].
-
-The following must be escaped to represent them in an indented string:
-
-- `$` is escaped by prefixing it with two single quotes (`''`)
-
-> **Example**
->
-> ```nix
-> ''
->   ''$
-> ''
-> ```
->
->     "$\n"
-
-- `''` is escaped by prefixing it with one single quote (`'`)
-
-> **Example**
->
-> ```nix
-> ''
->   '''
-> ''
-> ```
->
->     "''\n"
-
-These special characters are escaped as follows:
-- Linefeed (`\n`): `''\n`
-- Carriage return (`\r`): `''\r`
-- Tab (`\t`): `''\t`
-
-`''\` escapes any other character.
-
-A "dollar-curly" (`${`) can be written as follows: 
-> **Example**
->
-> ```nix
-> ''
->   echo ''${PATH}
-> ''
-> ```
->
->     "echo ${PATH}\n"
-
-> **Note**
->
-> This differs from the syntax for escaping a dollar-curly within double quotes (`"\${"`). Be aware of which one is needed at a given moment.
-
-A "double-dollar-curly" (`$${`) can be written literally.
-
-> **Example**
->
-> ```nix
-> ''
->   $${
-> ''
-> ```
->
->     "$\${\n"
-
-Indented strings are primarily useful in that they allow multi-line
-string literals to follow the indentation of the enclosing Nix
-expression, and that less escaping is typically necessary for
-strings representing languages such as shell scripts and
-configuration files because `''` is much less common than `"`.
-Example:
-
-```nix
-stdenv.mkDerivation {
-...
-postInstall =
-  ''
-    mkdir $out/bin $out/etc
-    cp foo $out/bin
-    echo "Hello World" > $out/etc/foo.conf
-    ${if enableBar then "cp bar $out/bin" else ""}
-  '';
-...
-}
-```
-
-Finally, as a convenience, *URIs* as defined in appendix B of
-[RFC 2396](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt) can be written *as
-is*, without quotes. For instance, the string
-`"http://example.org/foo.tar.bz2"` can also be written as
-`http://example.org/foo.tar.bz2`.

-# Data Types
-
-Every value in the Nix language has one of the following types:
-
-* [Integer](#type-int)
-* [Float](#type-float)
-* [Boolean](#type-bool)
-* [String](#type-string)
-* [Path](#type-path)
-* [Null](#type-null)
-* [Attribute set](#type-attrs)
-* [List](#type-list)
-* [Function](#type-function)
-* [External](#type-external)
-
-## Primitives
-
-### Integer {#type-int}
-
-An _integer_ in the Nix language is a signed 64-bit integer.
-
-Non-negative integers can be expressed as [integer literals](syntax.md#number-literal).
-Negative integers are created with the [arithmetic negation operator](./operators.md#arithmetic).
-The function [`builtins.isInt`](builtins.md#builtins-isInt) can be used to determine if a value is an integer.
-
-### Float {#type-float}
-
-A _float_ in the Nix language is a 64-bit [IEEE 754](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754) floating-point number.
-
-Most non-negative floats can be expressed as [float literals](syntax.md#number-literal).
-Negative floats are created with the [arithmetic negation operator](./operators.md#arithmetic).
-The function [`builtins.isFloat`](builtins.md#builtins-isFloat) can be used to determine if a value is a float.
-
-### Boolean {#type-bool}
-
-A _boolean_ in the Nix language is one of _true_ or _false_.
-
-<!-- TODO: mention the top-level environment -->
-
-These values are available as attributes of [`builtins`](builtins.md#builtins-builtins) as [`builtins.true`](builtins.md#builtins-true) and [`builtins.false`](builtins.md#builtins-false).
-The function [`builtins.isBool`](builtins.md#builtins-isBool) can be used to determine if a value is a boolean.
-
-### String {#type-string}
-
-A _string_ in the Nix language is an immutable, finite-length sequence of bytes, along with a [string context](string-context.md).
-Nix does not assume or support working natively with character encodings.
-
-String values without string context can be expressed as [string literals](string-literals.md).
-The function [`builtins.isString`](builtins.md#builtins-isString) can be used to determine if a value is a string.
-
-### Path {#type-path}
-
-A _path_ in the Nix language is an immutable, finite-length sequence of bytes starting with `/`, representing a POSIX-style, canonical file system path.
-Path values are distinct from string values, even if they contain the same sequence of bytes.
-Operations that produce paths will simplify the result as the standard C function [`realpath`] would, except that there is no symbolic link resolution.
-
-[`realpath`]: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/realpath.html
-
-Paths are suitable for referring to local files, and are often preferable over strings.
-- Path values do not contain trailing or duplicate slashes, `.`, or `..`.
-- Relative path literals are automatically resolved relative to their [base directory].
-- Tooling can recognize path literals and provide additional features, such as autocompletion, refactoring automation and jump-to-file.
-
-[base directory]: @docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-base-directory
-
-A file is not required to exist at a given path in order for that path value to be valid, but a path that is converted to a string with [string interpolation] or [string-and-path concatenation] must resolve to a readable file or directory which will be copied into the Nix store.
-For instance, evaluating `"${./foo.txt}"` will cause `foo.txt` from the same directory to be copied into the Nix store and result in the string `"/nix/store/<hash>-foo.txt"`.
-Operations such as [`import`] can also expect a path to resolve to a readable file or directory.

-
-> **Note**
->
-> 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.
-> Use `:r` to reset the repl as needed.
-
-[store path]: @docroot@/store/store-path.md
-
-Path values can be expressed as [path literals](syntax.md#path-literal).
-The function [`builtins.isPath`](builtins.md#builtins-isPath) can be used to determine if a value is a path.
-
-### Null {#type-null}
-
-There is a single value of type _null_ in the Nix language.
-
-<!-- TODO: mention the top-level environment -->
-
-This value is available as an attribute on the [`builtins`](builtins.md#builtins-builtins) attribute set as [`builtins.null`](builtins.md#builtins-null).
-
-## Compound values
-
-### Attribute set {#type-attrs}
-
-<!-- TODO(@rhendric, #10970): fill this out -->
-
-An attribute set can be constructed with an [attribute set literal](syntax.md#attrs-literal).
-The function [`builtins.isAttrs`](builtins.md#builtins-isAttrs) can be used to determine if a value is an attribute set.
-
-### List {#type-list}
-
-<!-- TODO(@rhendric, #10970): fill this out -->
-
-A list can be constructed with a [list literal](syntax.md#list-literal).
-The function [`builtins.isList`](builtins.md#builtins-isList) can be used to determine if a value is a list.
-
-## Function {#type-function}
-
-<!-- TODO(@rhendric, #10970): fill this out -->
-
-A function can be constructed with a [function expression](syntax.md#functions).
-The function [`builtins.isFunction`](builtins.md#builtins-isFunction) can be used to determine if a value is a function.
-
-## External {#type-external}
-
-An _external_ value is an opaque value created by a Nix [plugin](../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-plugin-files).
-Such a value can be substituted in Nix expressions but only created and used by plugin code.
