# Files
- - `~/.nix-defexpr`\
- The source for the default Nix expressions used by the
- `--install`, `--upgrade`, and `--query --available` operations to
- obtain derivations. The `--file` option may be used to override
- this default.
-
- If `~/.nix-defexpr` is a file, it is loaded as a Nix expression. If
- the expression is a set, it is used as the default Nix expression.
- If the expression is a function, an empty set is passed as argument
- and the return value is used as the default Nix expression.
-
- If `~/.nix-defexpr` is a directory containing a `default.nix` file,
- that file is loaded as in the above paragraph.
-
- If `~/.nix-defexpr` is a directory without a `default.nix` file,
- then its contents (both files and subdirectories) are loaded as Nix
- expressions. The expressions are combined into a single set, each
- expression under an attribute with the same name as the original
- file or subdirectory.
-
- For example, if `~/.nix-defexpr` contains two files, `foo.nix` and
- `bar.nix`, then the default Nix expression will essentially be
-
- ```nix
- {
- foo = import ~/.nix-defexpr/foo.nix;
- bar = import ~/.nix-defexpr/bar.nix;
- }
- ```
-
- The file `manifest.nix` is always ignored. Subdirectories without a
- `default.nix` file are traversed recursively in search of more Nix
- expressions, but the names of these intermediate directories are not
- added to the attribute paths of the default Nix expression.
-
- The command `nix-channel` places symlinks to the downloaded Nix
- expressions from each subscribed channel in this directory.
-
- - `~/.nix-profile`\
- A symbolic link to the user's current profile. By default, this
- symlink points to `prefix/var/nix/profiles/default`. The `PATH`
- environment variable should include `~/.nix-profile/bin` for the
- user environment to be visible to the user.
