The module system in Home Manager is based entirely on the NixOS module system so we will here only highlight aspects that are specific for Home Manager. For information about the module system as such please refer to the Writing NixOS Modules chapter of the NixOS manual.
Overall the basic option types are the same in Home Manager as NixOS. A few Home Manager options, however, make use of custom types that are worth describing in more detail. These are the option types dagOf and gvariant that are used, for example, by programs.ssh.matchBlocks and dconf.settings.

hm.types.dagOf
Options of this type have attribute sets as values where each member is a node in a directed acyclic graph (DAG). This allows the attribute set entries to express dependency relations among themselves. This can, for example, be used to control the order of match blocks in a OpenSSH client configuration or the order of activation script blocks in home.activation.
