 # Import From Derivation (IFD)
 
-[[nix|Nix]] expressions are *evaluated* to produce #[[drv|derivations]]. These derivations when *realized* usually produce the compiled binary packages. Sometimes, realizing a derivation can produce a Nix expression representing another derivation. This generated Nix expression too needs to be *evaluated* to its derivation before it can be *realized*. This secondary evaluation is achieved by `import`ing from the derivation being evaluated, and is called "import from derivation" or IFD.
