        The configuration of the Nix Packages collection.  (For
        details, see the Nixpkgs documentation.)  It allows you to set
        package configuration options, and to override packages
        globally through the <varname>packageOverrides</varname>
        option.  The latter is a function that takes as an argument
        the <emphasis>original</emphasis> Nixpkgs, and must evaluate
        to a set of new or overridden packages.

        Specifies the Nix platform type for which NixOS should be built.
        If unset, it defaults to the platform type of your host system
        (<literal>${builtins.currentSystem}</literal>).
        Specifying this option is useful when doing distributed
        multi-platform deployment, or when building virtual machines.
