/* *
Update or set specific paths of an attribute set .
Takes a list of updates to apply and an attribute set to apply them to ,
and returns the attribute set with the updates applied . Updates are
represented as ` { path = . . . ; update = . . . ; } ` values , where ` path ` is a
list of strings representing the attribute path that should be updated ,
and ` update ` is a function that takes the old value at that attribute path
as an argument and returns the new
value it should be .
Properties :
- Updates to deeper attribute paths are applied before updates to more
shallow attribute paths
- Multiple updates to the same attribute path are applied in the order
they appear in the update list
- If any but the last ` path ` element leads into a value that is not an
attribute set , an error is thrown
- If there is an update for an attribute path that doesn't exist ,
accessing the argument in the update function causes an error , but
intermediate attribute sets are implicitly created as needed

Deconstruct an attrset to a list of name-value pairs as expected by [ ` builtins . listToAttrs ` ] ( https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/language/builtins.html #builtins-listToAttrs).
Each element of the resulting list is an attribute set with these attributes :
- ` name ` ( string ) : The name of the attribute
- ` value ` ( any ) : The value of the attribute
The following is always true :
` ` ` nix

The opposite is not always true . In general expect that

Merge a list of attribute sets together using the ` // ` operator .
In case of duplicate attributes , values from later list elements take precedence over earlier ones .
The result is the same as ` foldl mergeAttrs { } ` , but the performance is better for large inputs .
For n list elements , each with an attribute set containing m unique attributes , the complexity of this operation is O ( nm log n ) .
