{ pkgs, buildEnv, runCommand, hostPlatform, lib }:

# These are some unix tools that are commonly included in the /usr/bin
# and /usr/sbin directory under more normal distributions. Along with
# coreutils, these are commonly assumed to be available by build
# systems, but we can't assume they are available. In Nix, we list
# each program by name directly through this unixtools attribute.

# You should always try to use single binaries when available. For
# instance, if your program needs to use "ps", just list it as a build
# input, not "procps" which requires Linux.
