# Derivations
The most important built-in function is `derivation`, which is used to describe a single store-layer [store derivation].
Consult the [store chapter](@docroot@/store/drv.md) for what a store derivation is;
Consult the [store chapter](@docroot@/store/derivation/index.md) for what a store derivation is;
this section just concerns how to create one from the Nix language.
This builtin function takes as input an attribute set, the attributes of which specify the inputs to the process.
