Description

Copy the file or directory path to the Nix store, and print the resulting store path on standard output.

Warning

The resulting store path is not registered as a garbage collector root, so it could be deleted before you have a chance to register it.

Examples

Add a regular file to the store:

# echo foo > bar

# nix add-to-store --flat ./bar
/nix/store/cbv2s4bsvzjri77s2gb8g8bpcb6dpa8w-bar

# cat /nix/store/cbv2s4bsvzjri77s2gb8g8bpcb6dpa8w-bar
foo
