Synopsis

nix store add-file [option…] path

Options

•

--dry-run ⟨#opt-dry-run⟩

Show what this command would do without doing it.

•

--hash-algo ⟨#opt-hash-algo⟩ hash-algo

Hash algorithm (md5, sha1, sha256, or sha512).

•

--mode ⟨#opt-mode⟩ content-address-method

How to compute the content-address of the store object. One of:

•

nar ⟨@docroot@/store/store-object/content-address.md#method-nix-archive⟩ (the default): Serialises the input as a Nix Archive ⟨@docroot@/store/file-system-object/content-address.md#serial-nix-archive⟩ and passes that to the hash function.

•

flat ⟨@docroot@/store/store-object/content-address.md#method-flat⟩\c : Assumes that the input is a single file and directly passes ⟨@docroot@/store/file-system-object/content-address.md#serial-flat⟩ it to the hash function.

•

text ⟨@docroot@/store/store-object/content-address.md#method-text⟩\c : Like flat, but used for derivations ⟨@docroot@/glossary.md#store-derivation⟩ serialized in store object and builtins.toFile ⟨@docroot@/language/builtins.html#builtins-toFile⟩\c . For advanced use-cases only; for regular usage prefer nar and flat.

•

--name ⟨#opt-name⟩ / -n name

Override the name component of the store path. It defaults to the base name of path.

Logging-related options

•

--debug ⟨#opt-debug⟩

Set the logging verbosity level to ‘debug’.

•

--log-format ⟨#opt-log-format⟩ format

Set the format of log output; one of raw, internal-json, bar or bar-with-logs.

•

--print-build-logs ⟨#opt-print-build-logs⟩ / -L

Print full build logs on standard error.

•

--quiet ⟨#opt-quiet⟩

Decrease the logging verbosity level.

•

--verbose ⟨#opt-verbose⟩ / -v

Increase the logging verbosity level.

Miscellaneous global options

•

--help ⟨#opt-help⟩

Show usage information.

•

--offline ⟨#opt-offline⟩

Disable substituters and consider all previously downloaded files up-to-date.

•

--option ⟨#opt-option⟩ name value

Set the Nix configuration setting name to value (overriding nix.conf).

•

Consider all previously downloaded files out-of-date.

Show version information.

Note

See man nix.conf ⟨@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#command-line-flags⟩ for overriding configuration settings with command line flags.
