Lookup path

Syntax

lookup-path = < identifier [ / identifier ]... >

A lookup path is an identifier with an optional path suffix that resolves to a path value if the identifier matches a search path entry in builtins.nixPath. The algorithm for lookup path resolution is described in the documentation on builtins.findFile.

Example

<nixpkgs>
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixpkgs

Example
