Execute a given program with the (optional) given arguments as the user running the evaluation, parsing stdout as an expression to be evaluated. There are many use cases for nix that would benefit from being able to run arbitrary code during evaluation, including but not limited to: * Automatic git fetching to get a sha256 from a git revision * git rev-parse HEAD * Automatic extraction of information from build specifications from other tools, particularly language-specific package managers like cabal or npm * Secrets decryption (e.g. with nixops) * Private repository fetching Ideally, we would add this functionality in a more principled way to nix, but in the mean time 'builtins.exec' can be used to get these tasks done. The primop is only available when the 'allow-unsafe-native-code-during-evaluation' nix option is true. That flag also enables the 'importNative' primop, which is strictly more powerful but less convenient (since it requires compiling a plugin against the running version of nix). |
