# Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
*(This chapter is unstable and a work in progress. Incoming links may rot.)*
|
||||
|
||||
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][layer-architecture].
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
|
||||
| Nix |
|
||||
| [ commmand line interface ]------, |
|
||||
| | | |
|
||||
| evaluates | |
|
||||
| | manages |
|
||||
| V | |
|
||||
| [ configuration language ] | |
|
||||
| | | |
|
||||
| +-----------------------------|-------------------V-----------+ |
|
||||
| | store evaluates to | |
|
||||
| | | | |
|
||||
| | referenced by V builds | |
|
||||
| | [ build input ] ---> [ build plan ] ---> [ build result ] | |
|
||||
| | | |
|
||||
| +-------------------------------------------------------------+ |
|
||||
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
At the top is the [command line interface](../command-ref/command-ref.md), translating from invocations of Nix executables to interactions with the underlying layers.
|
||||
|
||||
Below that is the [Nix expression language](../expressions/expression-language.md), a [purely functional][purely-functional-programming] configuration language.
|
||||
It is used to compose expressions which ultimately evaluate to self-contained *build plans*, used to derive *build results* from referenced *build inputs*.
|
||||
|
||||
The command line and Nix language are what users interact 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 these is the [Nix store](./store/store.md), a mechanism to keep track of build plans, data, and references between them.
|
||||
It can also execute build plans to produce new data.
|
||||
|
||||
A build plan is a series of *build tasks*.
|
||||
Each build task has a special build input which is used as *build instructions*.
|
||||
The result of a build task can be input to another build task.
|
||||

||||

# File System Object
|
||||
|
||||
The Nix store uses a simple file system model for the data it holds in [store objects](store.md#store-object).
|
||||
|
||||
Every file system object is one of the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- File: an executable flag, and arbitrary data for contents
|
||||
- Directory: mapping of names to child file system objects
|
||||
- [Symbolic link][symlink]: may point anywhere.
|
||||
|
||||
We call a store object's outermost file system object the *root*.
|
||||
|
||||
data FileSystemObject
|
||||
= File { isExecutable :: Bool, contents :: Bytes }
|
||||
| Directory { entries :: Map FileName FileSystemObject }
|
||||
| SymLink { target :: Path }
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
- a directory with contents
|
||||
|
||||
/nix/store/<hash>-hello-2.10
|
||||
├── bin
|
||||
│ └── hello
|
||||
└── share
|
||||
├── info
|
||||
│ └── hello.info
|
||||
└── man
|
||||
└── man1
|
||||
└── hello.1.gz
|
||||
|
||||
- a directory with relative symlink and other contents
|
||||
|
||||
/nix/store/<hash>-go-1.16.9
|
||||
├── bin -> share/go/bin
|
||||
├── nix-support/
|
||||
└── share/
|
||||
|
||||
- a directory with absolute symlink
|
||||
|
||||
/nix/store/d3k...-nodejs
|
||||
└── nix_node -> /nix/store/f20...-nodejs-10.24.
|
||||
|
||||
A bare file or symlink can be a root file system object.
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
/nix/store/<hash>-hello-2.10.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
/nix/store/4j5...-pkg-config-wrapper-0.29.2-doc -> /nix/store/i99...-pkg-config-0.29.2-doc
|
||||
|
||||
Symlinks pointing outside of their own root or to a store object without a matching reference are allowed, but might not function as intended.
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
- an arbitrarily symlinked file may change or not exist at all
|
||||
|
||||
/nix/store/<hash>-foo
|
||||
└── foo -> /home/foo
|
||||
|
||||
- if a symlink to a store path was not automatically created by Nix, it may be invalid or get invalidated when the store object is deleted
|
||||
|
||||
/nix/store/<hash>-bar
|
||||
└── bar -> /nix/store/abc...-foo
|
||||
|
||||
Nix file system objects do not support [hard links][hardlink]:
|
||||
each file system object which is not the root has exactly one parent and one name.
|
||||
However, as store objects are immutable, an underlying file system can use hard links for optimization.

# Store Path
|
||||
|
||||
Nix implements [references](store.md#reference) to [store objects](store.md#store-object) as *store paths*.
|
||||
|
||||
Store paths are pairs of
|
||||
|
||||
- a 20-byte [digest](#digest) for identification
|
||||
- a symbolic name for people to read.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
- digest: `b6gvzjyb2pg0kjfwrjmg1vfhh54ad73z`
|
||||
- name: `firefox-33.1`
|
||||
|
||||
It is rendered to a file system path as the concatenation of
|
||||
|
||||
- [store directory](#store-directory)
|
||||
- path-separator (`/`)
|
||||
- [digest](#digest) rendered in a custom variant of [base-32](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base32) (20 arbitrary bytes become 32 ASCII characters)
|
||||
- hyphen (`-`)
|
||||
- name
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
/nix/store/b6gvzjyb2pg0kjfwrjmg1vfhh54ad73z-firefox-33.1
|
||||
|--------| |------------------------------| |----------|
|
||||
store directory digest name
|
||||
|
||||
## Store Directory
|
||||
|
||||
Every [store](./store.md) has a store directory.
|
||||
|
||||
If the store has a [file system representation](./store.md#files-and-processes), this directory contains the store’s [file system objects](#file-system-object), which can be addressed by [store paths](#store-path).
|
||||
|
||||
This means a store path is not just derived from the referenced store object itself, but depends on the store the store object is in.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**
|
||||
> The store directory defaults to `/nix/store`, but is in principle arbitrary.
|
||||
|
||||
It is important which store a given store object belongs to:
|
||||
Files in the store object can contain store paths, and processes may read these paths.
|
||||
Nix can only guarantee [referential integrity](store/closure.md) if store paths do not cross store boundaries.
|
||||
|
||||
Therefore one can only copy store objects to a different store if
|
||||
|
||||
- the source and target stores' directories match
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
- the store object in question has no references, that is, contains no store paths.
|
||||
|
||||
One cannot copy a store object to a store with a different store directory.
|
||||
Instead, it has to be rebuilt, together with all its dependencies.
|
||||
It is in general not enough to replace the store directory string in file contents, as this may render executables unusable by invalidating their internal offsets or checksums.
|
||||
|
||||
# Digest
|
||||
|
||||
In a [store path](#store-path), the [digest][digest] is the output of a [cryptographic hash function][hash] of either all *inputs* involved in building the referenced store object or its actual *contents*.
|
||||
|
||||
Store objects are therefore said to be either [input-addressed](#input-addressing) or [content-addressed](#content-addressing).
|
||||
|
||||
> **Historical Note**
|
||||
> The 20 byte restriction is because originally digests were [SHA-1][sha-1] hashes.
|
||||
> Nix now uses [SHA-256][sha-256], and longer hashes are still reduced to 20 bytes for compatibility.

||||

||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Reference scanning
|
||||
|
||||
When a new store object is built, Nix scans its file contents for store paths to construct its set of references.
|
||||
|
||||
The special format of a store path's [digest](#digest) allows reliably detecting it among arbitrary data.
|
||||
Nix uses the [closure](store.md#closure) of build inputs to derive the list of allowed store paths, to avoid false positives.
|
||||
|
||||
This way, scanning files captures run time dependencies without the user having to declare them explicitly.
|
||||
Doing it at build time and persisting references in the store object avoids repeating this time-consuming operation.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note**
|
||||
> In practice, it is sometimes still necessary for users to declare certain dependencies explicitly, if they are to be preserved in the build result's closure.
|
||||
This depends on the specifics of the software to build and run.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> For example, Java programs are compressed after compilation, which obfuscates any store paths they may refer to and prevents Nix from automatically detecting them.
|
||||
|
||||
## Input Addressing
|
||||
|
||||
Input addressing means that the digest derives from how the store object was produced, namely its build inputs and build plan.
|
||||
|
||||
To compute the hash of a store object one needs a deterministic serialisation, i.e., a binary string representation which only changes if the store object changes.
|
||||
|
||||
Nix has a custom serialisation format called Nix Archive (NAR)
|
||||
|
||||
Store object references of this sort can *not* be validated from the content of the store object.
|
||||
Rather, a cryptographic signature has to be used to indicate that someone is vouching for the store object really being produced from a build plan with that digest.
|
||||
|
||||
## Content Addressing
|
||||
|
||||
Content addressing means that the digest derives from the store object's contents, namely its file system objects and references.
|
||||
If one knows content addressing was used, one can recalculate the reference and thus verify the store object.
|
||||
|
||||
Content addressing is currently only used for the special cases of source files and "fixed-output derivations", where the contents of a store object are known in advance.
|
||||
Content addressing of build results is still an [experimental feature subject to some restrictions](https://github.com/tweag/rfcs/blob/cas-rfc/rfcs/0062-content-addressed-paths.md).

# Store
|
||||
|
||||
A Nix store is a collection of *store objects* with references between them.
|
||||
It supports operations to manipulate that collection.
|
||||
|
||||
The following concept map is a graphical outline of this chapter.
|
||||
Arrows indicate suggested reading order.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||

[ digest ]----' [ reference scanning ]<------------'
|
||||
/ \
|
||||
v v
|
||||
[ input addressing ] [ content addressing ]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Store Object
|
||||
|
||||
A store object can hold
|
||||
|
||||
- arbitrary *data*
|
||||
- *references* to other store objects.
|
||||
|
||||
Store objects can be build inputs, build results, or build tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
Store objects are [immutable][immutable-object]: once created, they do not change until they are deleted.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reference
|
||||
|
||||
A store object reference is an [opaque][opaque-data-type], [unique identifier][unique-identifier]:
|
||||
The only way to obtain references is by adding or building store objects.
|
||||
A reference will always point to exactly one store object.
|
||||
|
||||
## Operations
|
||||
|
||||
A Nix store can *add*, *retrieve*, and *delete* store objects.
|
||||
|
||||
[ data ]
|
||||
|
|
||||
V
|
||||
[ store ] ---> add ----> [ store' ]
|
||||
|
|
||||
V
|
||||
[ reference ]
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- -->
|
||||
|
||||
[ reference ]
|
||||
|
|
||||
V
|
||||
[ store ] ---> get
|
||||
|
|
||||
V
|
||||
[ store object ]
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- -->
|
||||
|
||||
[ reference ]
|
||||
|
|
||||
V
|
||||
[ store ] --> delete --> [ store' ]
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
It can *perform builds*, that is, create new store objects by transforming build inputs into build outputs, using instructions from the build tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[ reference ]
|
||||
|
|
||||
V
|
||||
[ store ] --> build --(maybe)--> [ store' ]
|
||||
|
|
||||
V
|
||||
[ reference ]
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
As it keeps track of references, it can [garbage-collect][garbage-collection] unused store objects.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
[ store ] --> collect garbage --> [ store' ]
|
||||
|
||||
## Files and Processes
|
||||
|
||||
Nix maps between its store model and the [Unix paradigm][unix-paradigm] of [files and processes][file-descriptor], by encoding immutable store objects and opaque identifiers as file system primitives: files and directories, and paths.
|
||||
That allows processes to resolve references contained in files and thus access the contents of store objects.
|
||||
|
||||
Store objects are therefore implemented as the pair of
|
||||
|
||||
- a [file system object](fso.md) for data
|
||||
- a set of [store paths](path.md) for references.
|
||||
|
||||
[unix-paradigm]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything_is_a_file
|
||||
[file-descriptor]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_descriptor
|
||||
|
||||
The following diagram shows a radical simplification of how Nix interacts with the operating system:
|
||||
It uses files as build inputs, and build outputs are files again.
|
||||
On the operating system, files can be run as processes, which in turn operate on files.
|
||||
A build function also amounts to an operating system process (not depicted).
|
||||
|
||||

| '-> | process | --' |
|
||||
| +------------+ |
|
||||
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
There exist different types of stores, which all follow this model.
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
- store on the local file system
|
||||
- remote store accessible via SSH
|
||||
- binary cache store accessible via HTTP
|
||||
|
||||
To make store objects accessible to processes, stores ultimately have to expose store objects through the file system.

# A [Rosetta stone][rosetta-stone] for build system terminology
|
||||
|
||||
The Nix store's design is comparable to other build systems.
|
||||
Usage of terms is, for historic reasons, not entirely consistent within the Nix ecosystem, and still subject to slow change.
|
||||
|
||||
The following translation table points out similarities and equivalent terms, to help clarify their meaning and inform consistent use in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
| generic build system | Nix | [Bazel][bazel] | [Build Systems à la Carte][bsalc] | programming language |
|
||||
| -------------------------------- | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | ------------------------ |
|
||||
| data (build input, build result) | store object | [artifact][bazel-artifact] | value | value |
|
||||
| build instructions | builder | ([depends on action type][bazel-actions]) | function | function |
|
||||
| build task | derivation | [action][bazel-action] | `Task` | [thunk][thunk] |
|
||||
| build plan | derivation graph | [action graph][bazel-action-graph], [build graph][bazel-build-graph] | `Tasks` | [call graph][call-graph] |
|
||||
| build | build | build | application of `Build` | evaluation |
|
||||
| persistence layer | store | [action cache][bazel-action-cache] | `Store` | heap |
|
||||
|
||||
All of these systems share features of [declarative programming][declarative-programming] languages, a key insight first put forward by Eelco Dolstra et al. in [Imposing a Memory Management Discipline on Software Deployment][immdsd] (2004), elaborated in his PhD thesis [The Purely Functional Software Deployment Model][phd-thesis] (2006), and further refined by Andrey Mokhov et al. in [Build Systems à la Carte][bsalc] (2018).

# Closure
|
||||
|
||||
Nix stores ensure [referential integrity][referential-integrity]: for each store object in the store, all the store objects it references must also be in the store.
|
||||
|
||||
The set of all store objects reachable by following references from a given initial set of store objects is called a *closure*.
|
||||
|
||||
Adding, building, copying and deleting store objects must be done in a way that preserves referential integrity:
|
||||
|
||||
- A newly added store object cannot have references, unless it is a build task.
|
||||
|
||||
- Build results must only refer to store objects in the closure of the build inputs.
|
||||
|
||||
Building a store object will add appropriate references, according to the build task.
|
||||
|
||||
- Store objects being copied must refer to objects already in the destination store.
|
||||
|
||||
Recursive copying must either proceed in dependency order or be atomic.
|
||||
|
||||
- We can only safely delete store objects which are not reachable from any reference still in use.

# Arguments and Variables
|
||||
|
||||
The [Nix expression for GNU Hello](expression-syntax.md) is a
|
||||
function; it is missing some arguments that have to be filled in
|
||||
somewhere. In the Nix Packages collection this is done in the file
|
||||
`pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix`, where all Nix expressions for
|
||||
packages are imported and called with the appropriate arguments. Here
|
||||
are some fragments of `all-packages.nix`, with annotations of what
|
||||
they mean:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
rec { ①
|
||||
|
||||
hello = import ../applications/misc/hello/ex-1 ② { ③
|
||||
inherit fetchurl stdenv perl;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
perl = import ../development/interpreters/perl { ④
|
||||
inherit fetchurl stdenv;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
fetchurl = import ../build-support/fetchurl {
|
||||
inherit stdenv; ...
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
stdenv = ...;
|
||||
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
1. This file defines a set of attributes, all of which are concrete
|
||||
derivations (i.e., not functions). In fact, we define a *mutually
|
||||
recursive* set of attributes. That is, the attributes can refer to
|
||||
each other. This is precisely what we want since we want to “plug”
|
||||
the various packages into each other.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Here we *import* the Nix expression for GNU Hello. The import
|
||||
operation just loads and returns the specified Nix expression. In
|
||||
fact, we could just have put the contents of the Nix expression
|
||||
for GNU Hello in `all-packages.nix` at this point. That would be
|
||||
completely equivalent, but it would make `all-packages.nix` rather
|
||||
bulky.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that we refer to `../applications/misc/hello/ex-1`, not
|
||||
`../applications/misc/hello/ex-1/default.nix`. When you try to
|
||||
import a directory, Nix automatically appends `/default.nix` to the
|
||||
file name.
|
||||
|
||||
3. This is where the actual composition takes place. Here we *call* the
|
||||
function imported from `../applications/misc/hello/ex-1` with a set
|
||||
containing the things that the function expects, namely `fetchurl`,
|
||||
`stdenv`, and `perl`. We use inherit again to use the attributes
|
||||
defined in the surrounding scope (we could also have written
|
||||
`fetchurl = fetchurl;`, etc.).
|
||||
|
||||
The result of this function call is an actual derivation that can be
|
||||
built by Nix (since when we fill in the arguments of the function,
|
||||
what we get is its body, which is the call to `stdenv.mkDerivation`
|
||||
in the [Nix expression for GNU Hello](expression-syntax.md)).

||||

# Build Script
|
||||
|
||||
Here is the builder referenced from Hello's Nix expression (stored in
|
||||
`pkgs/applications/misc/hello/ex-1/builder.sh`):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
source $stdenv/setup ①
|
||||
|
||||
PATH=$perl/bin:$PATH ②
|
||||
|
||||
tar xvfz $src ③
|
||||
cd hello-*
|
||||
./configure --prefix=$out ④
|
||||
make ⑤
|
||||
make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The builder can actually be made a lot shorter by using the *generic
|
||||
builder* functions provided by `stdenv`, but here we write out the build
|
||||
steps to elucidate what a builder does. It performs the following steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. When Nix runs a builder, it initially completely clears the
|
||||
environment (except for the attributes declared in the derivation).
|
||||
This is done to prevent undeclared inputs from being used in the
|
||||
build process. If for example the `PATH` contained `/usr/bin`, then
|
||||
you might accidentally use `/usr/bin/gcc`.
|
||||
|
||||
So the first step is to set up the environment. This is done by
|
||||
calling the `setup` script of the standard environment. The
|
||||
environment variable `stdenv` points to the location of the
|
||||
standard environment being used. (It wasn't specified explicitly
|
||||
as an attribute in Hello's Nix expression, but `mkDerivation` adds
|
||||
it automatically.)
|
||||
|
||||
2. Since Hello needs Perl, we have to make sure that Perl is in the
|
||||
`PATH`. The `perl` environment variable points to the location of
|
||||
the Perl package (since it was passed in as an attribute to the
|
||||
derivation), so `$perl/bin` is the directory containing the Perl
|
||||
interpreter.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Now we have to unpack the sources. The `src` attribute was bound to
|
||||
the result of fetching the Hello source tarball from the network, so
|
||||
the `src` environment variable points to the location in the Nix
|
||||
store to which the tarball was downloaded. After unpacking, we `cd`
|
||||
to the resulting source directory.
|
||||
|
||||
The whole build is performed in a temporary directory created in
|
||||
`/tmp`, by the way. This directory is removed after the builder
|
||||
finishes, so there is no need to clean up the sources afterwards.
|
||||
Also, the temporary directory is always newly created, so you don't
|
||||
have to worry about files from previous builds interfering with the
|
||||
current build.
|
||||
|
||||
4. GNU Hello is a typical Autoconf-based package, so we first have to
|
||||
run its `configure` script. In Nix every package is stored in a
|
||||
separate location in the Nix store, for instance
|
||||
`/nix/store/9a54ba97fb71b65fda531012d0443ce2-hello-2.1.1`. Nix
|
||||
computes this path by cryptographically hashing all attributes of
|
||||
the derivation. The path is passed to the builder through the `out`
|
||||
environment variable. So here we give `configure` the parameter
|
||||
`--prefix=$out` to cause Hello to be installed in the expected
|
||||
location.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Finally we build Hello (`make`) and install it into the location
|
||||
specified by `out` (`make install`).
|
||||
|
||||
If you are wondering about the absence of error checking on the result
|
||||
of various commands called in the builder: this is because the shell
|
||||
script is evaluated with Bash's `-e` option, which causes the script to
|
||||
be aborted if any command fails without an error check.

# Expression Syntax
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a Nix expression for GNU Hello:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{ stdenv, fetchurl, perl }: ①
|
||||
|
||||
stdenv.mkDerivation { ②
|
||||
name = "hello-2.1.1"; ③
|
||||
builder = ./builder.sh; ④
|
||||
src = fetchurl { ⑤
|
||||
url = "ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/gnu/hello/hello-2.1.1.tar.gz";
|
||||
sha256 = "1md7jsfd8pa45z73bz1kszpp01yw6x5ljkjk2hx7wl800any6465";
|
||||
};
|
||||
inherit perl; ⑥
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This file is actually already in the Nix Packages collection in
|
||||
`pkgs/applications/misc/hello/ex-1/default.nix`. It is customary to
|
||||
place each package in a separate directory and call the single Nix
|
||||
expression in that directory `default.nix`. The file has the following
|
||||
elements (referenced from the figure by number):
|
||||
|
||||
1. This states that the expression is a *function* that expects to be
|
||||
called with three arguments: `stdenv`, `fetchurl`, and `perl`. They
|
||||
are needed to build Hello, but we don't know how to build them here;
|
||||
that's why they are function arguments. `stdenv` is a package that
|
||||
is used by almost all Nix Packages; it provides a
|
||||
“standard” environment consisting of the things you would expect
|
||||
in a basic Unix environment: a C/C++ compiler (GCC, to be precise),
|
||||
the Bash shell, fundamental Unix tools such as `cp`, `grep`, `tar`,
|
||||
etc. `fetchurl` is a function that downloads files. `perl` is the
|
||||
Perl interpreter.
|
||||
|
||||
Nix functions generally have the form `{ x, y, ..., z }: e` where
|
||||
`x`, `y`, etc. are the names of the expected arguments, and where
|
||||
*e* is the body of the function. So here, the entire remainder of
|
||||
the file is the body of the function; when given the required
|
||||
arguments, the body should describe how to build an instance of
|
||||
the Hello package.
|
||||
|
||||
2. So we have to build a package. Building something from other stuff
|
||||
is called a *derivation* in Nix (as opposed to sources, which are
|
||||
built by humans instead of computers). We perform a derivation by
|
||||
calling `stdenv.mkDerivation`. `mkDerivation` is a function
|
||||
provided by `stdenv` that builds a package from a set of
|
||||
*attributes*. A set is just a list of key/value pairs where each
|
||||
key is a string and each value is an arbitrary Nix
|
||||
expression. They take the general form `{ name1 = expr1; ...
|
||||
nameN = exprN; }`.
|
||||
|
||||
3. The attribute `name` specifies the symbolic name and version of
|
||||
the package. Nix doesn't really care about these things, but they
|
||||
are used by for instance `nix-env -q` to show a “human-readable”
|
||||
name for packages. This attribute is required by `mkDerivation`.
|
||||
|
||||
4. The attribute `builder` specifies the builder. This attribute can
|
||||
sometimes be omitted, in which case `mkDerivation` will fill in a
|
||||
default builder (which does a `configure; make; make install`, in
|
||||
essence). Hello is sufficiently simple that the default builder
|
||||
would suffice, but in this case, we will show an actual builder
|
||||
for educational purposes. The value `./builder.sh` refers to the
|
||||
shell script shown in the [next section](build-script.md),
|
||||
discussed below.
|
||||
|
||||
5. The builder has to know what the sources of the package are. Here,
|
||||
the attribute `src` is bound to the result of a call to the
|
||||
`fetchurl` function. Given a URL and a SHA-256 hash of the expected
|
||||
contents of the file at that URL, this function builds a derivation
|
||||
that downloads the file and checks its hash. So the sources are a
|
||||
dependency that like all other dependencies is built before Hello
|
||||
itself is built.
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of `src` any other name could have been used, and in fact
|
||||
there can be any number of sources (bound to different attributes).
|
||||
However, `src` is customary, and it's also expected by the default
|
||||
builder (which we don't use in this example).
|
||||
|
||||
6. Since the derivation requires Perl, we have to pass the value of the
|
||||
`perl` function argument to the builder. All attributes in the set
|
||||
are actually passed as environment variables to the builder, so
|
||||
declaring an attribute
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
perl = perl;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
will do the trick: it binds an attribute `perl` to the function
|
||||
argument which also happens to be called `perl`. However, it looks a
|
||||
bit silly, so there is a shorter syntax. The `inherit` keyword
|
||||
causes the specified attributes to be bound to whatever variables
|
||||
with the same name happen to be in scope.

# Generic Builder Syntax
|
||||
|
||||
Recall that the [build script for GNU Hello](build-script.md) looked
|
||||
something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
PATH=$perl/bin:$PATH
|
||||
tar xvfz $src
|
||||
cd hello-*
|
||||
./configure --prefix=$out
|
||||
make
|
||||
make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The builders for almost all Unix packages look like this — set up some
|
||||
environment variables, unpack the sources, configure, build, and
|
||||
install. For this reason the standard environment provides some Bash
|
||||
functions that automate the build process. Here is what a builder using
|
||||
the generic build facilities looks like:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
buildInputs="$perl" ①
|
||||
|
||||
source $stdenv/setup ②
|
||||
|
||||
genericBuild ③
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here is what each line means:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The `buildInputs` variable tells `setup` to use the indicated
|
||||
packages as “inputs”. This means that if a package provides a `bin`
|
||||
subdirectory, it's added to `PATH`; if it has a `include`
|
||||
subdirectory, it's added to GCC's header search path; and so on.
|
||||
(This is implemented in a modular way: `setup` tries to source the
|
||||
file `pkg/nix-support/setup-hook` of all dependencies. These “setup
|
||||
hooks” can then set up whatever environment variables they want; for
|
||||
instance, the setup hook for Perl sets the `PERL5LIB` environment
|
||||
variable to contain the `lib/site_perl` directories of all inputs.)
|
||||
|
||||
2. The function `genericBuild` is defined in the file `$stdenv/setup`.
|
||||
|
||||
3. The final step calls the shell function `genericBuild`, which
|
||||
performs the steps that were done explicitly in the previous build
|
||||
script. The generic builder is smart enough to figure out whether
|
||||
to unpack the sources using `gzip`, `bzip2`, etc. It can be
|
||||
customised in many ways; see the Nixpkgs manual for details.
|
||||
|
||||
Discerning readers will note that the `buildInputs` could just as well
|
||||
have been set in the Nix expression, like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
buildInputs = [ perl ];
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `perl` attribute can then be removed, and the builder becomes even
|
||||
shorter:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
source $stdenv/setup
|
||||
genericBuild
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In fact, `mkDerivation` provides a default builder that looks exactly
|
||||
like that, so it is actually possible to omit the builder for Hello
|
||||
entirely.

# Values
|
||||
|
||||
## Simple Values
|
||||
|
||||
Nix has the following basic data types:
|
||||
|
||||
- *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 special
|
||||
characters `"` and `\` and the character sequence `${` must be
|
||||
escaped by prefixing them with a backslash (`\`). Newlines, carriage
|
||||
returns and tabs can be written as `\n`, `\r` and `\t`,
|
||||
respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
You can include the result of an expression into a string by
|
||||
enclosing it in `${...}`, a feature known as *antiquotation*. The
|
||||
enclosed expression must evaluate to something that can be coerced
|
||||
into a string (meaning that it must be a string, a path, or a
|
||||
derivation). For instance, rather than writing
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
"--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
(where `freetype` is a derivation), you can instead write the more
|
||||
natural
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
"--with-freetype2-library=${freetype}/lib"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The latter is automatically translated to the former. A more
|
||||
complicated example (from the Nix expression for
|
||||
[Qt](http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt)):
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
configureFlags = "
|
||||
-system-zlib -system-libpng -system-libjpeg
|
||||
${if openglSupport then "-dlopen-opengl
|
||||
-L${mesa}/lib -I${mesa}/include
|
||||
-L${libXmu}/lib -I${libXmu}/include" else ""}
|
||||
${if threadSupport then "-thread" else "-no-thread"}
|
||||
";
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note that Nix expressions and strings can be arbitrarily nested; in
|
||||
this case the outer string contains various antiquotations that
|
||||
themselves contain strings (e.g., `"-thread"`), some of which in
|
||||
turn contain expressions (e.g., `${mesa}`).
|
||||
|
||||
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 that the whitespace and newline following the opening `''` is
|
||||
ignored if there is no non-whitespace text on the initial line.
|
||||
|
||||
Antiquotation (`${expr}`) is supported in indented strings.
|
||||
|
||||
Since `${` and `''` have special meaning in indented strings, you
|
||||
need a way to quote them. `$` can be escaped by prefixing it with
|
||||
`''` (that is, two single quotes), i.e., `''$`. `''` can be escaped
|
||||
by prefixing it with `'`, i.e., `'''`. `$` removes any special
|
||||
meaning from the following `$`. Linefeed, carriage-return and tab
|
||||
characters can be written as `''\n`, `''\r`, `''\t`, and `''\`
|
||||
escapes any other character.
|
||||
|
||||
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 $out/bin" else ""}
|
||||
'';
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, as a convenience, *URIs* as defined in appendix B of
|
||||
[RFC 2396](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt) can be written *as
|
||||
is*, without quotes. For instance, the string
|
||||
`"http://example.org/foo.tar.bz2"` can also be written as
|
||||
`http://example.org/foo.tar.bz2`.
|
||||
|
||||
- Numbers, which can be *integers* (like `123`) or *floating point*
|
||||
(like `123.43` or `.27e13`).
|
||||
|
||||
Numbers are type-compatible: pure integer operations will always
|
||||
return integers, whereas any operation involving at least one
|
||||
floating point number will have a floating point number as a result.
|
||||
|
||||
- *Paths*, e.g., `/bin/sh` or `./builder.sh`. A path must contain at
|
||||
least one slash to be recognised as such. For instance, `builder.sh`
|
||||
is not a path: it's parsed as an expression that selects the
|
||||
attribute `sh` from the variable `builder`. If the file name is
|
||||
relative, i.e., if it does not begin with a slash, it is made
|
||||
absolute at parse time relative to the directory of the Nix
|
||||
expression that contained it. For instance, if a Nix expression in
|
||||
`/foo/bar/bla.nix` refers to `../xyzzy/fnord.nix`, the absolute path
|
||||
is `/foo/xyzzy/fnord.nix`.
|
||||
|
||||
If the first component of a path is a `~`, it is interpreted as if
|
||||
the rest of the path were relative to the user's home directory.
|
||||
e.g. `~/foo` would be equivalent to `/home/edolstra/foo` for a user
|
||||
whose home directory is `/home/edolstra`.
|
||||
|
||||
Paths can also be specified between angle brackets, e.g.
|
||||
`<nixpkgs>`. This means that the directories listed in the
|
||||
environment variable `NIX_PATH` will be searched for the given file
|
||||
or directory name.
|
||||
|
||||
Antiquotation is supported in any paths except those in angle brackets.
|
||||
`./${foo}-${bar}.nix` is a more convenient way of writing
|
||||
`./. + "/" + foo + "-" + bar + ".nix"` or `./. + "/${foo}-${bar}.nix"`. At
|
||||
least one slash must appear *before* any antiquotations for this to be
|
||||
recognized as a path. `a.${foo}/b.${bar}` is a syntactically valid division
|
||||
operation. `./a.${foo}/b.${bar}` is a path.
|
||||
|
||||
- *Booleans* with values `true` and `false`.
|
||||
|
||||
- The null value, denoted as `null`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Lists
|
||||
|
||||
Lists are formed by enclosing a whitespace-separated list of values
|
||||
between square brackets. For example,
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
[ 123 ./foo.nix "abc" (f { x = y; }) ]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
defines a list of four elements, the last being the result of a call to
|
||||
the function `f`. Note that function calls have to be enclosed in
|
||||
parentheses. If they had been omitted, e.g.,
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
[ 123 ./foo.nix "abc" f { x = y; } ]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
the result would be a list of five elements, the fourth one being a
|
||||
function and the fifth being a set.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that lists are only lazy in values, and they are strict in length.
|
||||
|
||||
## Attribute Sets
|
||||
|
||||
Attribute sets are collections of name-value-pairs (called *attributes*) enclosed in curly brackets (`{ }`).
|
||||
|
||||
Names and values are separated by an equal sign (`=`).
|
||||
Each value is an arbitrary expression terminated by a semicolon (`;`).
|
||||
|
||||
Attributes can appear in any order.
|
||||
An attribute name may only occur once.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{
|
||||
x = 123;
|
||||
text = "Hello";
|
||||
y = f { bla = 456; };
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This defines a set with attributes named `x`, `text`, `y`.
|
||||
|
||||
Attributes can be selected from a set using the `.` operator. For
|
||||
instance,
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{ a = "Foo"; b = "Bar"; }.a
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
evaluates to `"Foo"`. It is possible to provide a default value in an
|
||||
attribute selection using the `or` keyword. For example,
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{ a = "Foo"; b = "Bar"; }.c or "Xyzzy"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
will evaluate to `"Xyzzy"` because there is no `c` attribute in the set.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use arbitrary double-quoted strings as attribute names:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{ "foo ${bar}" = 123; "nix-1.0" = 456; }."foo ${bar}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will evaluate to `123` (Assuming `bar` is antiquotable). In the
|
||||
case where an attribute name is just a single antiquotation, the quotes
|
||||
can be dropped:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{ foo = 123; }.${bar} or 456
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will evaluate to `123` if `bar` evaluates to `"foo"` when coerced
|
||||
to a string and `456` otherwise (again assuming `bar` is antiquotable).
|
||||
|
||||
In the special case where an attribute name inside of a set declaration
|
||||
evaluates to `null` (which is normally an error, as `null` is not
|
||||
antiquotable), that attribute is simply not added to the set:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{ ${if foo then "bar" else null} = true; }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will evaluate to `{}` if `foo` evaluates to `false`.
|
||||
|
||||
A set that has a `__functor` attribute whose value is callable (i.e. is
|
||||
itself a function or a set with a `__functor` attribute whose value is
|
||||
callable) can be applied as if it were a function, with the set itself
|
||||
passed in first , e.g.,
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
let add = { __functor = self: x: x + self.x; };
|
||||
inc = add // { x = 1; };
|
||||
in inc 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
evaluates to `2`. This can be used to attach metadata to a function
|
||||
without the caller needing to treat it specially, or to implement a form
|
||||
of object-oriented programming, for example.

# Building and Testing
|
||||
|
||||
You can now try to build Hello. Of course, you could do `nix-env -f . -iA
|
||||
hello`, but you may not want to install a possibly broken package just
|
||||
yet. The best way to test the package is by using the command
|
||||
`nix-build`, which builds a Nix expression and creates a symlink named
|
||||
`result` in the current directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ nix-build -A hello
|
||||
building path `/nix/store/632d2b22514d...-hello-2.1.1'
|
||||
hello-2.1.1/
|
||||
hello-2.1.1/intl/
|
||||
hello-2.1.1/intl/ChangeLog
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
$ ls -l result
|
||||
lrwxrwxrwx ... 2006-09-29 10:43 result -> /nix/store/632d2b22514d...-hello-2.1.1
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./result/bin/hello
|
||||
Hello, world!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `-A` option selects the `hello` attribute. This is faster than
|
||||
using the symbolic package name specified by the `name` attribute
|
||||
(which also happens to be `hello`) and is unambiguous (there can be
|
||||
multiple packages with the symbolic name `hello`, but there can be
|
||||
only one attribute in a set named `hello`).
|
||||
|
||||
`nix-build` registers the `./result` symlink as a garbage collection
|
||||
root, so unless and until you delete the `./result` symlink, the output
|
||||
of the build will be safely kept on your system. You can use
|
||||
`nix-build`’s `-o` switch to give the symlink another name.
|
||||
|
||||
Nix has transactional semantics. Once a build finishes successfully, Nix
|
||||
makes a note of this in its database: it registers that the path denoted
|
||||
by `out` is now “valid”. If you try to build the derivation again, Nix
|
||||
will see that the path is already valid and finish immediately. If a
|
||||
build fails, either because it returns a non-zero exit code, because Nix
|
||||
or the builder are killed, or because the machine crashes, then the
|
||||
output paths will not be registered as valid. If you try to build the
|
||||
derivation again, Nix will remove the output paths if they exist (e.g.,
|
||||
because the builder died half-way through `make
|
||||
install`) and try again. Note that there is no “negative caching”: Nix
|
||||
doesn't remember that a build failed, and so a failed build can always
|
||||
be repeated. This is because Nix cannot distinguish between permanent
|
||||
failures (e.g., a compiler error due to a syntax error in the source)
|
||||
and transient failures (e.g., a disk full condition).
|
||||
|
||||
Nix also performs locking. If you run multiple Nix builds
|
||||
simultaneously, and they try to build the same derivation, the first Nix
|
||||
instance that gets there will perform the build, while the others block
|
||||
(or perform other derivations if available) until the build finishes:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ nix-build -A hello
|
||||
waiting for lock on `/nix/store/0h5b7hp8d4hqfrw8igvx97x1xawrjnac-hello-2.1.1x'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
So it is always safe to run multiple instances of Nix in parallel (which
|
||||
isn’t the case with, say, `make`).

# A Simple Nix Expression
|
||||
|
||||
This section shows how to add and test the [GNU Hello
|
||||
package](http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/hello.html) to the Nix
|
||||
Packages collection. Hello is a program that prints out the text “Hello,
|
||||
world\!”.
|
||||
|
||||
To add a package to the Nix Packages collection, you generally need to
|
||||
do three things:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Write a Nix expression for the package. This is a file that
|
||||
describes all the inputs involved in building the package, such as
|
||||
dependencies, sources, and so on.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Write a *builder*. This is a shell script that builds the package
|
||||
from the inputs. (In fact, it can be written in any language, but
|
||||
typically it's a `bash` shell script.)
|
||||
|
||||
3. Add the package to the file `pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix`. The
|
||||
Nix expression written in the first step is a *function*; it
|
||||
requires other packages in order to build it. In this step you put
|
||||
it all together, i.e., you call the function with the right
|
||||
arguments to build the actual package.

# Data Types
|
||||
|
||||
## Primitives
|
||||
|
||||
- <a id="type-string" href="#type-string">String</a>
|
||||
|
||||
*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 special
|
||||
characters `"` and `\` and the character sequence `${` must be
|
||||
escaped by prefixing them with a backslash (`\`). Newlines, carriage
|
||||
returns and tabs can be written as `\n`, `\r` and `\t`,
|
||||
respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
You can include the result of an expression into a string by
|
||||
enclosing it in `${...}`, a feature known as *antiquotation*. The
|
||||
enclosed expression must evaluate to something that can be coerced
|
||||
into a string (meaning that it must be a string, a path, or a
|
||||
derivation). For instance, rather than writing
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
"--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
(where `freetype` is a derivation), you can instead write the more
|
||||
natural
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
"--with-freetype2-library=${freetype}/lib"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The latter is automatically translated to the former. A more
|
||||
complicated example (from the Nix expression for
|
||||
[Qt](http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt)):
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
configureFlags = "
|
||||
-system-zlib -system-libpng -system-libjpeg
|
||||
${if openglSupport then "-dlopen-opengl
|
||||
-L${mesa}/lib -I${mesa}/include
|
||||
-L${libXmu}/lib -I${libXmu}/include" else ""}
|
||||
${if threadSupport then "-thread" else "-no-thread"}
|
||||
";
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note that Nix expressions and strings can be arbitrarily nested; in
|
||||
this case the outer string contains various antiquotations that
|
||||
themselves contain strings (e.g., `"-thread"`), some of which in
|
||||
turn contain expressions (e.g., `${mesa}`).
|
||||
|
||||
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 that the whitespace and newline following the opening `''` is
|
||||
ignored if there is no non-whitespace text on the initial line.
|
||||
|
||||
Antiquotation (`${expr}`) is supported in indented strings.
|
||||
|
||||
Since `${` and `''` have special meaning in indented strings, you
|
||||
need a way to quote them. `$` can be escaped by prefixing it with
|
||||
`''` (that is, two single quotes), i.e., `''$`. `''` can be escaped
|
||||
by prefixing it with `'`, i.e., `'''`. `$` removes any special
|
||||
meaning from the following `$`. Linefeed, carriage-return and tab
|
||||
characters can be written as `''\n`, `''\r`, `''\t`, and `''\`
|
||||
escapes any other character.
|
||||
|
||||
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`.
|
||||
|
||||
- <a id="type-number" href="#type-number">Number</a>
|
||||
|
||||
Numbers, which can be *integers* (like `123`) or *floating point*
|
||||
(like `123.43` or `.27e13`).
|
||||
|
||||
Numbers are type-compatible: pure integer operations will always
|
||||
return integers, whereas any operation involving at least one
|
||||
floating point number will have a floating point number as a result.
|
||||
|
||||
- <a id="type-path" href="#type-path">Path</a>
|
||||
|
||||
*Paths*, e.g., `/bin/sh` or `./builder.sh`. A path must contain at
|
||||
least one slash to be recognised as such. For instance, `builder.sh`
|
||||
is not a path: it's parsed as an expression that selects the
|
||||
attribute `sh` from the variable `builder`. If the file name is
|
||||
relative, i.e., if it does not begin with a slash, it is made
|
||||
absolute at parse time relative to the directory of the Nix
|
||||
expression that contained it. For instance, if a Nix expression in
|
||||
`/foo/bar/bla.nix` refers to `../xyzzy/fnord.nix`, the absolute path
|
||||
is `/foo/xyzzy/fnord.nix`.
|
||||
|
||||
If the first component of a path is a `~`, it is interpreted as if
|
||||
the rest of the path were relative to the user's home directory.
|
||||
e.g. `~/foo` would be equivalent to `/home/edolstra/foo` for a user
|
||||
whose home directory is `/home/edolstra`.
|
||||
|
||||
Paths can also be specified between angle brackets, e.g.
|
||||
`<nixpkgs>`. This means that the directories listed in the
|
||||
environment variable `NIX_PATH` will be searched for the given file
|
||||
or directory name.
|
||||
|
||||
Antiquotation is supported in any paths except those in angle brackets.
|
||||
`./${foo}-${bar}.nix` is a more convenient way of writing
|
||||
`./. + "/" + foo + "-" + bar + ".nix"` or `./. + "/${foo}-${bar}.nix"`. At
|
||||
least one slash must appear *before* any antiquotations for this to be
|
||||
recognized as a path. `a.${foo}/b.${bar}` is a syntactically valid division
|
||||
operation. `./a.${foo}/b.${bar}` is a path.
|
||||
|
||||
- <a id="type-boolean" href="#type-boolean">Boolean</a>
|
||||
|
||||
*Booleans* with values `true` and `false`.
|
||||
|
||||
- <a id="type-null" href="#type-null">Null</a>
|
||||
|
||||
The null value, denoted as `null`.
|
||||
|
||||
## List
|
||||
|
||||
Lists are formed by enclosing a whitespace-separated list of values
|
||||
between square brackets. For example,
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
[ 123 ./foo.nix "abc" (f { x = y; }) ]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
defines a list of four elements, the last being the result of a call to
|
||||
the function `f`. Note that function calls have to be enclosed in
|
||||
parentheses. If they had been omitted, e.g.,
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
[ 123 ./foo.nix "abc" f { x = y; } ]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
the result would be a list of five elements, the fourth one being a
|
||||
function and the fifth being a set.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that lists are only lazy in values, and they are strict in length.
|
||||
|
||||
## Attribute Set
|
||||
|
||||
An attribute set is a collection of name-value-pairs (called *attributes*) enclosed in curly brackets (`{ }`).
|
||||
|
||||
Names and values are separated by an equal sign (`=`).
|
||||
Each value is an arbitrary expression terminated by a semicolon (`;`).
|
||||
|
||||
Attributes can appear in any order.
|
||||
An attribute name may only occur once.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{
|
||||
x = 123;
|
||||
text = "Hello";
|
||||
y = f { bla = 456; };
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This defines a set with attributes named `x`, `text`, `y`.
|
||||
|
||||
Attributes can be selected from a set using the `.` operator. For
|
||||
instance,
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{ a = "Foo"; b = "Bar"; }.a
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
evaluates to `"Foo"`. It is possible to provide a default value in an
|
||||
attribute selection using the `or` keyword. For example,
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{ a = "Foo"; b = "Bar"; }.c or "Xyzzy"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
will evaluate to `"Xyzzy"` because there is no `c` attribute in the set.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use arbitrary double-quoted strings as attribute names:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{ "foo ${bar}" = 123; "nix-1.0" = 456; }."foo ${bar}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will evaluate to `123` (Assuming `bar` is antiquotable). In the
|
||||
case where an attribute name is just a single antiquotation, the quotes
|
||||
can be dropped:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{ foo = 123; }.${bar} or 456
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will evaluate to `123` if `bar` evaluates to `"foo"` when coerced
|
||||
to a string and `456` otherwise (again assuming `bar` is antiquotable).
|
||||
|
||||
In the special case where an attribute name inside of a set declaration
|
||||
evaluates to `null` (which is normally an error, as `null` is not
|
||||
antiquotable), that attribute is simply not added to the set:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{ ${if foo then "bar" else null} = true; }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will evaluate to `{}` if `foo` evaluates to `false`.
|
||||
|
||||
A set that has a `__functor` attribute whose value is callable (i.e. is
|
||||
itself a function or a set with a `__functor` attribute whose value is
|
||||
callable) can be applied as if it were a function, with the set itself
|
||||
passed in first , e.g.,
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
let add = { __functor = self: x: x + self.x; };
|
||||
inc = add // { x = 1; };
|
||||
in inc 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
evaluates to `2`. This can be used to attach metadata to a function
|
||||
without the caller needing to treat it specially, or to implement a form
|
||||
of object-oriented programming, for example.
