Usage

nix-store --add paths…

Overview

The operation --add adds the specified paths to the Nix store. It prints the resulting paths in the Nix store on standard output.

paths that refer to symlinks are not dereferenced, but added to the store as symlinks with the same target.

{{#include ../opt-common.md}}

{{#include ../env-common.md}}
