- mikepurvis 5y agoPer https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/#sec-advanced-attributes https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/#sec-advanced-attributes: > passAsFile: A list of names of attributes that should be passed via files rather than environment variables. Looks like it's basically just a hack for envvars that do/might exceed whatever bash's internal limits are for them.
