<function>buildFHSUserEnv</function> provides a way to build and run
|
||||
FHS-compatible lightweight sandboxes. It creates an isolated root with bound
|
||||
<filename>/nix/store</filename>, so its footprint in terms of disk space
|
||||
needed is quite small. This allows one to run software which is hard or
|
||||
unfeasible to patch for NixOS -- 3rd-party source trees with FHS
|
||||
assumptions, games distributed as tarballs, software with integrity checking
|
||||
and/or external self-updated binaries. It uses Linux namespaces feature to
|
||||
create temporary lightweight environments which are destroyed after all
|
||||
child processes exit, without root user rights requirement. Accepted
|
||||
arguments are:
