        The Nix store cannot contain setuid/setgid programs directly.
        For this reason, NixOS can automatically generate wrapper
        programs that have the necessary privileges.  This option
        lists the names of programs in the system environment for
        which setuid root wrappers should be created.

        This option allows the ownership and permissions on the setuid
        wrappers for specific programs to be overridden from the
        default (setuid root, but not setgid root).

        This option defines the path to the setuid wrappers.  It
        should generally not be overriden. Some packages in Nixpkgs
        expect that <option>wrapperDir</option> is
        <filename>/var/setuid-wrappers</filename>.
