// this must be done on the client side, as web servers do not see the anchor part of the URL.
// redirections are declared as follows:
// each entry has as its key a path matching the requested URL path, relative to the mdBook document root.
//
// IMPORTANT: it must specify the full path with file name and suffix
//
// each entry is itself a set of key-value pairs, where
// - keys are anchors on the matched path.
// - values are redirection targets relative to the current path.

//
// matching URLs is more involved than it should be:

// 1. `document.location.pathname` can have an arbitrary prefix.
//
// 2. `path_to_root` is set by mdBook. it consists only of `../`s and

// `path_to_root` has same number of path segments
//
// source: https://phaiax.github.io/mdBook/format/theme/index-hbs.html#data
//
// 3. the following paths are equivalent:
//
// /foo/bar/
// /foo/bar/index.html
// /foo/bar/index
//
// 4. the following paths are also equivalent:
//
// /foo/bar/baz

const depth = path_to_root.split('/').length;
// remove segments containing prefix. the following works because
// 1. the original `document.location.pathname` is absolute,
// hence first element of `segments` is always empty.
// 2. last element of splitting `path_to_root` is also always empty.
// 3. last element of `segments` is the file name.
//
// visual example:
//
// '/foo/bar/baz.html'.split('/') -> [ '', 'foo', 'bar', 'baz.html' ]
// '../'.split('/') -> [ '..', '' ]
//
// the following operations will then result in
//
// path = 'bar/baz.html'
//
segments.splice(0, segments.length - depth);
const path = segments.join('/');
// anchor starts with the hash character (`#`),
// but our redirect declarations don't, so we strip it.
// example:
// document.location.hash -> '#foo'
// document.location.hash.substring(1) -> 'foo'
const anchor = document.location.hash.substring(1);

Automatically verify every build at build time by executing the build

The following configuration will run each build three times, and will
require the build to be deterministic:

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

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

`nix-shell`. It can have the values `pure` or `impure`.
- [`NIX_PATH`]{#env-NIX_PATH}\
A colon-separated list of directories used to look up Nix
expressions enclosed in angle brackets (i.e., `<path>`). For
instance, the value
/home/eelco/Dev:/etc/nixos
will cause Nix to look for paths relative to `/home/eelco/Dev` and
`/etc/nixos`, in this order. It is also possible to match paths
against a prefix. For example, the value
nixpkgs=/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs-branch:/etc/nixos
will cause Nix to search for `<nixpkgs/path>` in
`/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs-branch/path` and `/etc/nixos/nixpkgs/path`.
If a path in the Nix search path starts with `http://` or
`https://`, it is interpreted as the URL of a tarball that will be
downloaded and unpacked to a temporary location. The tarball must
consist of a single top-level directory. For example, setting
`NIX_PATH` to
nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/master.tar.gz
tells Nix to download and use the current contents of the
`master` branch in the `nixpkgs` repository.
The URLs of the tarballs from the official nixos.org channels (see
[the manual for `nix-channel`](nix-channel.md)) can be abbreviated
as `channel:<channel-name>`. For instance, the following two
values of `NIX_PATH` are equivalent:
nixpkgs=channel:nixos-21.05
nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-21.05/nixexprs.tar.xz
The Nix search path can also be extended using the `-I` option to
many Nix commands, which takes precedence over `NIX_PATH`.
A colon-separated list of directories used to look up the location of Nix
expressions using [paths](../language/values.md#type-path)

$ ./mk/run-test.sh tests/${testName}.sh
ran test tests/${testName}.sh... [PASS]
```
To see the complete output, one can also run:
```shell-session
$ ./mk/debug-test.sh tests/${testName}.sh
+ foo
output from foo
+ bar
output from bar
...
```
The test script will then be traced with `set -x` and the output displayed as it happens, regardless of whether the test succeeds or fails.
#### Debugging failing functional tests
When a functional test fails, it usually does so somewhere in the middle of the script.
To figure out what's wrong, it is convenient to run the test regularly up to the failing `nix` command, and then run that command with a debugger like GDB.
For example, if the script looks like:
```bash
foo
nix blah blub
bar
```
edit it like so:
```diff
foo
-nix blah blub
+gdb --args nix blah blub
bar
```
Then, running the test with `./mk/debug-test.sh` will drop you into GDB once the script reaches that point:
```shell-session
$ ./mk/debug-test.sh tests/${testName}.sh
...
+ gdb blash blub
GNU gdb (GDB) 12.1
...
(gdb)
```
One can debug the Nix invocation in all the usual ways.
For example, enter `run` to start the Nix invocation.

# String interpolation
String interpolation is a language feature where a [string], [path], or [attribute name] can contain expressions enclosed in `${ }` (dollar-sign with curly brackets).
Such a string is an *interpolated string*, and an expression inside is an *interpolated expression*.
Interpolated expressions must evaluate to one of the following:
- a [string]
- a [path]
- a [derivation]
[string]: ./values.md#type-string
[path]: ./values.md#type-path
[attribute name]: ./values.md#attribute-set
[derivation]: ../glossary.md#gloss-derivation
## Examples
### String
Rather than writing
```nix
"--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib"
```
(where `freetype` is a [derivation]), you can instead write
```nix
"--with-freetype2-library=${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 ""}
${if threadSupport then "-thread" else "-no-thread"}
";
```
Note that Nix expressions and strings can be arbitrarily nested;
in this case the outer string contains various interpolated expressions that themselves contain strings (e.g., `"-thread"`), some of which in turn contain interpolated expressions (e.g., `${mesa}`).
### Path
Rather than writing
```nix
./. + "/" + foo + "-" + bar + ".nix"
```
or
```nix
./. + "/${foo}-${bar}.nix"
```
you can instead write
```nix
./${foo}-${bar}.nix
```
### Attribute name
Attribute names can be created dynamically with string interpolation:
```nix
let name = "foo"; in
{
${name} = "bar";
}
```
{ foo = "bar"; }

You can include the result of an expression into a string by

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.
When an [interpolated string][string interpolation] evaluates to a path, the path is first copied into the Nix store and the resulting string is the [store path] of the newly created [store object].
[store path]: ../glossary.md#gloss-store-path
[store object]: ../glossary.md#gloss-store-object
For instance, evaluating `"${./foo.txt}"` will cause `foo.txt` in the current directory to be copied into the Nix store and result in the string `"/nix/store/<hash>-foo.txt"`.
Note that 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.
Paths themselves, except those in angle brackets (`< >`), support [string interpolation].
At least one slash (`/`) must appear *before* any interpolated expression for the result to be recognized as a path.

# Release 2.12 (2022-12-06)
* On Linux, Nix can now run builds in a user namespace where they run
as root (UID 0) and have 65,536 UIDs available.
<!-- FIXME: move this to its own section about system features -->
This is primarily useful for running containers such as `systemd-nspawn`
inside a Nix build. For an example, see [`tests/systemd-nspawn/nix`][nspawn].
[nspawn]: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/67bcb99700a0da1395fa063d7c6586740b304598/tests/systemd-nspawn.nix.
A build can enable this by setting the derivation attribute:
```
requiredSystemFeatures = [ "uid-range" ];
```
The `uid-range` [system feature] requires the [`auto-allocate-uids`]
setting to be enabled.
[system feature]: ../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-system-features
* Nix can now automatically pick UIDs for builds, removing the need to
create `nixbld*` user accounts. See [`auto-allocate-uids`].
[`auto-allocate-uids`]: ../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-auto-allocate-uids
* On Linux, Nix has experimental support for running builds inside a
cgroup. See
[`use-cgroups`](../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-use-cgroups).
* `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` now accepts an additional argument `impure` which
defaults to `false`. If it is set to `true`, the `hash` and `sha256`
arguments will be ignored and the resulting derivation will have
`__impure` set to `true`, making it an impure derivation.
* If `builtins.readFile` is called on a file with context, then only
the parts of the context that appear in the content of the file are
retained. This avoids a lot of spurious errors where strings end up
having a context just because they are read from a store path
([#7260](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7260)).
* `nix build --json` now prints some statistics about top-level
derivations, such as CPU statistics when cgroups are enabled.

arguments will be ignored and the resulting derivation will have

* The `repeat` and `enforce-determinism` options have been removed
since they had been broken under many circumstances for a long time.
* You can now use [flake references] in the [old command line interface], e.g.
[flake references]: ../command-ref/new-cli/nix3-flake.md#flake-references
