# Arguments and Variables
The Nix expression in [???](#ex-hello-nix) 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`,
