builtins.path

Takes 1 arguments

args

An enrichment of the built-in path type, based on the attributes present in args. All are optional except path:

• path
  The underlying path.

• name
  The name of the path when added to the store. This can used to reference paths that have nix-illegal characters in their names, like @.

• filter
  A function of the type expected by builtins.filterSource, with the same semantics.

• recursive
  When false, when path is added to the store it is with a flat hash, rather than a hash of the NAR serialization of the file. Thus, path must refer to a regular file, not a directory. This allows similar behavior to fetchurl. Defaults to true.

• sha256
  When provided, this is the expected hash of the file at the path. Evaluation will fail if the hash is incorrect, and providing a hash allows builtins.path to be used even when the pure-eval nix config option is on.
