Configuration for Nix, see https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/conf-file.html or nix.conf(5) for available options. The value declared here will be translated directly to the key-value pairs Nix expects.
You can use nix-instantiate --eval --strict '<nixpkgs/nixos>' -A config.nix.settings to view the current value. By default it is empty.
Nix configurations defined under nix.* will be translated and applied to this option. In addition, configuration specified in nix.extraOptions will be appended verbatim to the resulting config file.
