This splits files and adds new identifiers in preperation for supporting
windows, but no Windows-specific code is actually added yet.

Examples

  • Run the daemon:

    # nix daemon

  • Run the daemon and listen on standard I/O instead of binding to a UNIX socket:

    # nix daemon --stdio

  • Run the daemon and force all connections to be trusted:

    # nix daemon --force-trusted

  • Run the daemon and force all connections to be untrusted:

    # nix daemon --force-untrusted

  • Run the daemon, listen on standard I/O, and force all connections to use Nix's default trust:

    # nix daemon --stdio --default-trust

Description

This command runs the Nix daemon, which is a required component in multi-user Nix installations. It runs build tasks and other operations on the Nix store on behalf of non-root users. Usually you don't run the daemon directly; instead it's managed by a service management framework such as systemd on Linux, or launchctl on Darwin.

Note that this daemon does not fork into the background.
