Takes 1 arguments
list
Return the list without its first item; abort evaluation if the argument isn’t a list or is an empty list.
Warning
This function should generally be avoided since it's inefficient: unlike Haskell's
tail, it takes O(n) time, so recursing over a list by repeatedly callingtailtakes O(n^2) time.
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.
