<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hej fellows guixers,</p> <p>I've been wondering this ever since I started using Guix. I tried looking for this in the manuals of both Guile and Guix but didn't find anything.</p> <p>What does the percent sign in <code>%output</code>, <code>%load-path</code> etc mean?</p> <p>I read in an article that it denotes a global variable, but I was unable to confirm it and am unsure if that's true or if there is some guix-related specialty to it. If it is a global variable, is this akin to the convention in Common Lisp to have asterisks for global variables?</p> <p>Thanks for tips / suggestions!</p> <p>Have a good day, fellows :)</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/olivuser"> /u/olivuser </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/GUIX/comments/rkkv4u/what_is_the_meaning_of_the_percent_sign_loadpath/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/GUIX/comments/rkkv4u/what_is_the_meaning_of_the_percent_sign_loadpath/">[comments]</a></span> |
