Detailed Description

The single way we can serialize "text" file system objects.

Somewhat obscure, used by Derivation derivations and builtins.toFile currently.

TextIngestionMethod is identical to FileIngestionMethod::Fixed except that the former may not have self-references and is tagged text:${algo}:${hash} rather than fixed:${algo}:${hash}. The contents of the store path are ingested and hashed identically, aside from the slightly different tag and restriction on self-references.

The documentation for this struct was generated from the following file:
