This section lists the values and functions built into the Nix language evaluator.
All built-ins are available through the global [`builtins`](#builtins-builtins) constant.

Some built-ins are also exposed directly in the global scope:

- [`derivation`](#builtins-derivation)
- [`import`](#builtins-import)
- [`abort`](#builtins-abort)
- [`throw`](#builtins-throw)
