# Description
Copy *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 directory to the store:
```console
# mkdir dir
# echo foo > dir/bar
# nix store add ./dir
/nix/store/6pmjx56pm94n66n4qw1nff0y1crm8nqg-dir
# cat /nix/store/6pmjx56pm94n66n4qw1nff0y1crm8nqg-dir/bar
foo
```
