<para>
<varname>pkgs.snapTools</varname> is a set of functions for creating
Snapcraft images. Snap and Snapcraft is not used to perform these operations.

<section xml:id="ssec-pkgs-snapTools-makeSnap-signature">
<title>The makeSnap Function</title>
<para>
<function>makeSnap</function> takes a single named argument,
<parameter>meta</parameter>. This argument mirrors
<link xlink:href="https://docs.snapcraft.io/snap-format">the upstream
<filename>snap.yaml</filename> format</link> exactly.
</para>
<para>
The <parameter>base</parameter> should not be be specified, as
<function>makeSnap</function> will force set it.
</para>
<para>
Currently, <function>makeSnap</function> does not support creating GUI
stubs.

The following expression packages GNU Hello as a Snapcraft snap.

<title>Making a Graphical Snap</title>
<para>
Graphical programs require many more integrations with the host. This
example uses Firefox as an example, because it is one of the most
complicated programs we could package.
