name: extra-local-jobs internalName: extraLocalJobs type: std::optional<uint32_t> defaultText: "1 if max-jobs = 0 otherwise 0"

This option defines an additional amount of slots for local jobs. preferLocalBuild derivations will prioritize acquiring from the local job pool first, then fall back to a max-jobs pool.

By default, extra-local-jobs is empty except if max-jobs = 0, in which case, Lix will automatically set this value to 1 to allow local jobs to progress as they are usually trivial.

This option can be overridden using the --extra-local-jobs flag.
