This section lists the functions built into the Nix language evaluator. This section lists the values and functions built into the Nix language evaluator.
All built-in functions are available through the global [`builtins`](./builtin-constants.md#builtins-builtins) constant. All built-ins are available through the global [`builtins`](#builtins-builtins) constant.
For convenience, some built-ins can be accessed directly: Some built-ins are also exposed directly in the global scope:
