tvl-depot/tvix/eval/src/io.rs

//! Interface for injecting I/O-related functionality into tvix-eval.
//!
//! The Nix language contains several builtins (e.g. `builtins.readDir`), as
//! well as language feature (e.g. string-"coercion" of paths) that interact
//! with the filesystem.
//!
//! The language evaluator implemented by this crate does not depend on any
//! particular filesystem interaction model. Instead, this module provides a
//! trait that can be implemented by tvix-eval callers to provide the
//! functionality they desire.
//!
//! In theory this can be used to implement "mocked" filesystem interactions, or
//! interaction with remote filesystems, etc.
//!
//! In the context of Nix builds, callers also use this interface to determine
//! how store paths are opened and so on.
