-# mkShell
-
-pkgs.mkShell is a special kind of derivation that is only useful when using
-it combined with nix-shell. It will in fact fail to instantiate when invoked
-with nix-build.
-
-## Usage
-
-```nix
-{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
-pkgs.mkShell {
-  # this will make all the build inputs from hello and gnutar available to the shell environment
-  inputsFrom = with pkgs; [ hello gnutar ];
-  buildInputs = [ pkgs.gnumake ];
-}
-```
