+
+# runExecline is a primitive building block
+# for writing non-kitchen sink builders.
+#
+# It’s conceptually similar to `runCommand`,
+# but instead of concatenating bash scripts left
+# and right, it actually *uses* the features of
+# `derivation`, passing things to `args`
+# and making it possible to overwrite the `builder`
+# in a sensible manner.
+#
+# Additionally, it provides a way to pass a nix string
+# to `stdin` of the build script.
+#
+# Similar to //nix/writeExecline, the passed script is
+# not a string, but a nested list of nix lists
+# representing execline blocks. Escaping is
+# done by the implementation, the user can just use
+# normal nix strings.
+#
+# Example:
+#
+#  runExecline "my-drv" { stdin = "hi!"; } [
+#    "importas" "out" "out"
+#    # this pipes stdout of s6-cat to $out
+#    # and s6-cat redirects from stdin to stdout
+#    "redirfd" "-w" "1" "$out" bins.s6-cat
+#  ]
+#
+# which creates a derivation with "hi!" in $out.
+#
+# See ./tests.nix for more examples.
