By default, builders on Linux cannot acquire new privileges by calling setuid/setgid programs or programs that have file capabilities. For example, programs such as `sudo` or `ping` will fail. (Note that in sandbox builds, no such programs are available unless you bind-mount them into the sandbox via the `sandbox-paths` option.) You can allow the use of such programs by enabling this option. This is impure and usually undesirable, but may be useful in certain scenarios (e.g. to spin up containers or set up userspace network interfaces in tests). )"}; #endif #if HAVE_ACL_SUPPORT Setting ignoredAcls{ this, {"security.selinux", "system.nfs4_acl", "security.csm"}, "ignored-acls", R"( A list of ACLs that should be ignored, normally Nix attempts to remove all ACLs from files and directories in the Nix store, but some ACLs like `security.selinux` or `system.nfs4_acl` can't be removed even by root. Therefore it's best to just ignore them. )"}; #endif Setting hashedMirrors{ this, {}, "hashed-mirrors", R"( A list of web servers used by `builtins.fetchurl` to obtain files by hash. Given a hash type *ht* and a base-16 hash *h*, Nix will try to download the file from *hashed-mirror*/*ht*/*h*. This allows files to be downloaded even if they have disappeared from their original URI. For example, given an example mirror `http://tarballs.nixos.org/`, when building the derivation ```nix builtins.fetchurl { url = "https://example.org/foo-1.2.3.tar.xz"; sha256 = "2c26b46b68ffc68ff99b453c1d30413413422d706483bfa0f98a5e886266e7ae"; } ``` Nix will attempt to download this file from `http://tarballs.nixos.org/sha256/2c26b46b68ffc68ff99b453c1d30413413422d706483bfa0f98a5e886266e7ae` first.

Each of these files will be dlopened by Nix, allowing them to affect execution through static initialization. In particular, these plugins may construct static instances of RegisterPrimOp to add new primops or constants to the expression language, RegisterStoreImplementation to add new store implementations, RegisterCommand to add new subcommands to the `nix` command, and RegisterSetting to add new nix config settings. See the constructors for those types for more details. Warning! These APIs are inherently unstable and may change from release to release. Since these files are loaded into the same address space as Nix itself, they must be DSOs compatible with the instance of Nix running at the time (i.e. compiled against the same headers, not linked to any incompatible libraries). They should not be linked to any Nix libs directly, as those will be available already at load time.

This risks making some builds "impure" because builders sometimes "canonicalise" paths by resolving all symlink components.

[XDG Base Directory Specification]: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html > **Warning** > This changes the location of some well-known symlinks that Nix creates, which might break tools that rely on the old, non-XDG-conformant locations.

If `$XDG_STATE_HOME` is not set, use `$HOME/.local/state/nix` instead of `$XDG_STATE_HOME/nix`. This can be achieved with the following shell commands: ```sh nix_state_home=${XDG_STATE_HOME-$HOME/.local/state}/nix mkdir -p $nix_state_home mv $HOME/.nix-profile $nix_state_home/profile mv $HOME/.nix-defexpr $nix_state_home/defexpr mv $HOME/.nix-channels $nix_state_home/channels ``` )" }; Setting impureEnv {this, {}, "impure-env", R"( A list of items, each in the format of: - `name=value`: Set environment variable `name` to `value`.
