https://releases.nixos.org/nix/nix-2.3.10/nix-2.3.10.tar.xz \

# Description
|
|
|
|
This command downloads the file *url* to the Nix store. It prints out
|
|
the resulting store path and the cryptographic hash of the contents of
|
|
the file.
|
|
|
|
The name component of the store path defaults to the last component of
|
|
*url*, but this can be overridden using `--name`.
