# Built-in Functions

This section lists the functions built into the Nix language evaluator.
All built-in functions are available through the global [`builtins`](./builtin-constants.md#builtins-builtins) constant.

For convenience, some built-ins can be accessed directly:

- [`derivation`](#builtins-derivation)
- [`import`](#builtins-import)
- [`abort`](#builtins-abort)
- [`throw`](#builtins-throw)

reword introduction to built-in functions add anchor to `builtins.derivation` and list some built-in functions that are exposed in the global scope. I decided not to list everything, because we probably don't want to encourage people using them that way. 2023-05-11 21:06:41 +03:00			`This section lists the functions built into the Nix language evaluator.`

doc: builtins: use a definition list This looks a lot better (and is also more semantically meaningful). Since this list is generated in a Nix expression, I don't think using HTML here is going to be the thing that puts people off modifying this part of the documentation! 2021-05-05 16:56:23 +03:00			`<dl>`
