Functions Libraries

#nix #nixos #language #programming #functional

• Is composed by builtins, import and pkgs.lib

• builtins is composed by base operations such as toString
• import is used to import files and evaluate it result
• pks.lib uses functions extract from NixOS Package

One import thing here is that builtins and pkgs.lib shared common functions with the same implementation.

$ echo "x:x+1" > file.nix
import ./ file.nix 1 # if you file has a function you can pass the argument directly
