**Store URL format**: `local`, *root*
This store type accesses a Nix store in the local filesystem directly
(i.e. not via the Nix daemon). *root* is an absolute path that denotes
the "root" of the filesystem; other directories such as the Nix store
directory (as denoted by the `store` setting) are interpreted relative

The special store URL `auto` causes Nix to automatically select a
store as follows:
* Use the local store `/nix/store` if `/nix/var/nix` is writable by
the current user.
* Use the [local store](#local-store) `/nix/store` if `/nix/var/nix`
is writable by the current user.
* Otherwise, if `/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket` exists, [connect
to the Nix daemon listening on that socket](#local-daemon-store).
