If you don’t have a <code>nixpkgs</code> checkout at hand, you can use the repo search at [https://search.nix.gsc.io/ search.nix.gsc.io].

Another trick that only works for functions, is evaluating the function on the <code>nix repl</code>: | |||
<pre> | |||
nix-repl> pkgs.lib.strings.makeBinPath | |||
«lambda @ /home/user/nixpkgs/lib/strings.nix:94:42» | |||
</pre> | |||
This doesn't work for non-functions or builtin functions, which show <code>«primop»</code>. It will always find the actual lambda, not an attribute that reexports a partial application, for example. | |||
