expressions enclosed in angle brackets (i.e., `<path>`). For
instance, the value

The Nix search path can also be extended using the `-I` option to
many Nix commands, which takes precedence over `NIX_PATH`.

Normally, the Nix store directory (typically `/nix/store`) is not

“impure” builds. Builders sometimes “canonicalise” paths by

- `NIX_CONFIG`\
- [`NIX_CONFIG`]{#env-NIX_CONFIG}\
Applies settings from Nix configuration from the environment.
The content is treated as if it was read from a Nix configuration file.
Settings are separated by the newline character.
- `NIX_USER_CONF_FILES`\
- [`NIX_USER_CONF_FILES`]{#env-NIX_USER_CONF_FILES}\
Overrides the location of the user Nix configuration files to load

Use the specified directory to store temporary files. In particular,
this includes temporary build directories; these can take up
substantial amounts of disk space. The default is `/tmp`.

This variable should be set to `daemon` if you want to use the Nix

- `NIX_COUNT_CALLS`\

- [`GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE`]{#env-GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE}\
If Nix has been configured to use the Boehm garbage collector, this
variable sets the initial size of the heap in bytes. It defaults to
384 MiB. Setting it to a low value reduces memory consumption, but
