R"( <strong>Store URL format</strong>: <tt>daemon</tt>, <tt>unix://</tt>*path* This store type accesses a Nix store by talking to a Nix daemon listening on the Unix domain socket <em>path</em>. When <em>path</em> is not specified (i.e. the <tt>daemon</tt> pseudo-URL or bare <tt>unix://</tt>), the socket path is determined as follows: 1. The <a href="@docroot@/command-ref/env-common.md#env-NIX_DAEMON_SOCKET_PATH" ><tt>NIX_DAEMON_SOCKET_PATH</tt></a> environment variable, if set. 2. Otherwise, <tt>daemon-socket/socket</tt> within the @ref "store-local-daemon-store-state" "`state`"<tt>state</tt></a> directory. )"
