 Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Only on linux | 00:02:20 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | As in you need procfs, not /dev/fd | 00:02:31 |
 John Ericson | I think /dev/fd might work? | 00:02:51 |
| John Ericson | don't have a mac at hand, however | 00:03:13 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | The problem with sending fds with source accessors would really be with handling things at the top-level. No way to express a single symlink or not very easy to have a single file as well | 00:16:32 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Dunno what your idea was for the varlink interface. Maybe passing an FD for a directory and having a subdir in there as the top-level NAR member would be better? Otherwise you can't have all the type of NARs without also making them part of the data model | 00:21:22 |

 Taeer Bar-Yam | in nix_api_value.h, the EvalState argument of nix_init_path_string is not documented in the comment above. Is this a mistake? Are we intending to document every argument, and if so is that something we can check in CI?
