A list of the maintainers of this Nix expression. Maintainers are defined in [`nixpkgs/maintainers/maintainer-list.nix`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/maintainers/maintainer-list.nix). There is no restriction to becoming a maintainer, just add yourself to that list in a separate commit titled “maintainers: add alice”, and reference maintainers with `maintainers = with lib.maintainers; [ alice bob ]`.
### `mainProgram` {#var-meta-mainProgram}
The name of the main binary for the package. This effects the binary `nix run` executes and falls back to the name of the package. Example: `"rg"`
### `priority` {#var-meta-priority}
The *priority* of the package, used by `nix-env` to resolve file name conflicts between packages. See the Nix manual page for `nix-env` for details. Example: `"10"` (a low-priority package).
