Takes 1 arguments

s


Split the string s into a package name and version. The package name is everything up to but not including the first dash not followed by a letter, and the version is everything following that dash. The result is returned in a set { name, version }. Thus, builtins.parseDrvName "nix-0.12pre12876" returns { name = "nix"; version = "0.12pre12876"; }.

This function is not defined in a .nix file. It is likely a builtins function or an alias of a builtins function. builtins functions are predefined functions provided by Nix.
