In the example above, you can see the description, the input specified as a GitHub repository with a specific branch (here <code>nixos/nixpkgs</code> on the <code>nixos-unstable</code> branch), and an output that makes use of the input. The output simply specifies that the flake contains one package for the x86_64 architecture called <code>hello</code>. Even if your flake's output wouldn't use its input (however, in practice, that is highly unlikely), the output still needs to be a Nix function.
{{Note|Flakes require you to specify its outputs for each architecture separately. For more information, read the related section below.}}
