It is similar to - `builtins.readDir` but acts on a single file or directory. - -* The `builtins.readDir` function has been optimized when encountering not-yet-known - file types from POSIX's `readdir`. In such cases the type of each file is/was - discovered by making multiple syscalls. This change makes these operations - lazy such that these lookups will only be performed if the attribute is used. - This optimization affects a minority of filesystems and operating systems. - -* In derivations that use structured attributes, you can now use `unsafeDiscardReferences` - to disable scanning a given output for runtime dependencies: - ```nix - __structuredAttrs = true; - unsafeDiscardReferences.out = true; - ``` - This is useful e.g. when generating self-contained filesystem images with - their own embedded Nix store: hashes found inside such an image refer - to the embedded store and not to the host's Nix store. - - This requires the `discard-references` experimental feature. |
