{ pkgs, stdenv, lib, getBins, escapeExecline }:

# runExecline is a primitive building block
# for writing non-kitchen sink builders.
#
# It’s conceptually similar to `runCommand`,
# but instead of concatenating bash scripts left
# and right, it actually *uses* the features of
# `derivation`, passing things to `args`
# and making it possible to overwrite the `builder`
# in a sensible manner.
#
# Additionally, it provides a way to pass a nix string
# to `stdin` of the build script.
#
# Similar to //nix/writeExecline, the passed script is
# not a string, but a nested list of nix lists
# representing execline blocks. Escaping is
# done by the implementation, the user can just use
# normal nix strings.
#
# Example:
#
#  runExecline "my-drv" { stdin = "hi!"; } [
#    "importas" "out" "out"
#    # this pipes stdout of s6-cat to $out
#    # and s6-cat redirects from stdin to stdout
#    "redirfd" "-w" "1" "$out" bins.s6-cat
#  ]
#
# which creates a derivation with "hi!" in $out.
#
# See ./tests.nix for more examples.
