Enables shebang usage of nix shell. All arguments with `#! nix` get
added to the nix invocation. This implementation does NOT set any
additional arguments other than placing the script path itself as the
first argument such that the interpreter can utilize it.
Example below:
```
#!/usr/bin/env nix
#! nix shell --quiet
#! nix nixpkgs#bash
#! nix nixpkgs#shellcheck
#! nix nixpkgs#hello
#! nix --ignore-environment --command bash
# shellcheck shell=bash
set -eu
shellcheck "$0" || exit 1
function main {
hello
echo 0:"$0" 1:"$1" 2:"$2"
}
"$@"
```
fix: include programName usage
EDIT: For posterity I've changed shellwords to shellwords2 in order
not to interfere with other changes during a rebase.
shellwords2 is removed in a later commit. -- roberth
All OS and IO operations should be moved out, leaving only some misc
portable pure functions.
This is useful to avoid copious CPP when doing things like Windows and
Emscripten ports.
Newly exposed functions to break cycles:
- `restoreSignals`
- `updateWindowSize`
While `nix` has always been respectful towards requests for `NO_COLOR=1`, this change asks represents a new stage of maturity for `nix` - making it also respect quests for `NOCOLOR=1`.
This ideally makes the tool more accessible to folks like me, who are exhausted by guessing whether `NO_COLOR` or `NOCOLOR` is the right environment variable to set.

This is necessary when we're in a chroot environment, where the
process root is not the same as the root of the mount namespace
(e.g. in nixos-enter).
Fixes#7602.
How signals should be handled depends on what kind of process Nix
is integrated into. The signal handler thread used by the stand-alone
Nix commands / processes may not work well in the context of other
runtime systems, such as those of Python, Perl, or Haskell.
Otherwise, when running as root and user namespaces are enabled,
opening the slave fails with EPERM.
Fixes "opening pseudoterminal slave: Permission denied" followed by a
hang (https://hydra.nixos.org/build/213104244), and "error: getting
sandbox mount namespace: No such file or directory" (#8072), which
happens when the child fails very quickly and consequently reading
/proc/<child>/ns fails.
We make sure the env var paths are actually set (ie. not "") before
sending them to the canonicalization function. If we forget to do so,
the user will end up facing a puzzled failed assertion internal error.
We issue a non-failing warning as a stop-gap measure. We could want to
revisit this to issue a detailed failing error message in the future.
XDG Base Directory is a standard for locations for storing various
files. Nix has a few files which seem to fit in the standard, but
currently use a custom location directly in the user's ~, polluting
it:
- ~/.nix-profile
- ~/.nix-defexpr
- ~/.nix-channels
This commit adds a config option (use-xdg-base-directories) to follow
the XDG spec and instead use the following locations:
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profile
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/defexpr
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/channels
If $XDG_STATE_HOME is not set, it is assumed to be ~/.local/state.

Rather than using `/nix/var/nix/{profiles,gcroots}/per-user/`, put the user
profiles and gcroots under `$XDG_DATA_DIR/nix/{profiles,gcroots}`.
This means that the daemon no longer needs to manage these paths itself
(they are fully handled client-side). In particular, it doesn’t have to
`chown` them anymore (removing one need for root).
This does change the layout of the gc-roots created by nix-env, and is
likely to break some stuff, so I’m not sure how to properly handle that.
- call close explicitly in writeFile to prevent the close exception
from being ignored
- fsync after writing schema file to flush data to disk
- fsync schema file parent to flush metadata to disk

Rather than directly copying the source to its dest, copy it first to a
temporary location, and eventually move that temporary.
That way, the move is at least atomic from the point-of-view of the destination
Useful because a default `sudo` on darwin doesn't clear `$HOME`, so things like `sudo nix-channel --list`
will surprisingly return the USER'S channels, rather than `root`'s.

This solves the error
error: cannot connect to socket at '/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket': Connection refused
on build farm systems that are loaded but operating normally.
I've seen this happen on an M1 mac running a loaded hercules-ci-agent.
Hercules CI uses multiple worker processes, which may connect to
the Nix daemon around the same time. It's not unthinkable that
the Nix daemon listening process isn't scheduled until after 6
workers try to connect, especially on a system under load with
many workers.
Is the increase safe?
The number is the number of connections that the kernel will buffer
while the listening process hasn't `accept`-ed them yet.
It did not - and will not - restrict the total number of daemon
forks that a client can create.
History
The number 5 has remained unchanged since the introduction in
nix-worker with 0130ef88ea in 2006.
