### `wafPath` {#wafPath}
### `wafHook` Exclusive Variables {#wafHookExclusiveVariables}
The variables below are exclusive of `wafHook`.
#### `wafPath` {#wafPath}
Location of the `waf` tool. It defaults to `./waf`, to honor software projects that include it directly inside their source trees.
If `wafPath` doesn't exist, then `waf.hook` will copy the `waf` provided from Nixpkgs to it.
