# Description
Copy the regular file *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:
```console
# echo foo > bar
# nix store add-file ./bar
/nix/store/cbv2s4bsvzjri77s2gb8g8bpcb6dpa8w-bar
# cat /nix/store/cbv2s4bsvzjri77s2gb8g8bpcb6dpa8w-bar
foo
```
