//! This module implements the runtime representation of a Nix //! builtin. //! //! Builtins are directly backed by Rust code operating on Nix values. use crate::{errors::ErrorKind, vm::VM}; use super::Value; use std::fmt::{Debug, Display}; /// Function pointer type for builtins implemented directly by backing /// Rust code. /// /// Builtins declare their arity and are passed a vector with the /// right number of arguments.
