like <code class="literal">lib</code>, <code class="literal">config</code>,
and <code class="literal">pkgs</code>, <code class="literal">modulesPath</code>.
</p><p>
This option is also available to all submodules. Submodules do not
inherit args from their parent module, nor do they provide args to
their parent module or sibling submodules. The sole exception to
this is the argument <code class="literal">name</code> which is provided by
parent modules to a submodule and contains the attribute name
the submodule is bound to, or a unique generated name if it is
not bound to an attribute.
</p><p>
Some arguments are already passed by default, of which the
following <span class="emphasis"><em>cannot</em></span> be changed with this option:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="varname">lib</code>: The nixpkgs library.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="varname">config</code>: The results of all options after merging the values from all modules together.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="varname">options</code>: The options declared in all modules.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="varname">specialArgs</code>: The <code class="literal">specialArgs</code> argument passed to <code class="literal">evalModules</code>.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
All attributes of <code class="varname">specialArgs</code>
</p><p>
Whereas option values can generally depend on other option values
thanks to laziness, this does not apply to <code class="literal">imports</code>, which
must be computed statically before anything else.
</p><p>
For this reason, callers of the module system can provide <code class="literal">specialArgs</code>
which are available during import resolution.
</p><p>
For NixOS, <code class="literal">specialArgs</code> includes
<code class="varname">modulesPath</code>, which allows you to import
extra modules from the nixpkgs package tree without having to
somehow make the module aware of the location of the
<code class="literal">nixpkgs</code> or NixOS directories.
</p><pre class="programlisting">
{ modulesPath, ... }: {
imports = [
(modulesPath + "/profiles/minimal.nix")
];
}
</pre><p>
</p></li></ul></div><p>
</p><p>
For NixOS, the default value for this option includes at least this argument:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="varname">pkgs</code>: The nixpkgs package set according to
the <code class="option">nixpkgs.pkgs</code> option.
</p></li></ul></div><p>
