[Nix-dev] questions on nix trickery

[Alan Belew]

I have a few questions on the trickery nix uses in its package system.

1. whenever nix builds a package from source, how does it make sure all the
outputs end up in a folder in the store?

2. how does nix make sure that programs can find the libraries they need?
from what i read i got the impression that nix puts symlinks to the store
in lib /lib or /usr/lib directories, but i can't find anything like that on
my os.
