+# 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-path ./dir
+/nix/store/6pmjx56pm94n66n4qw1nff0y1crm8nqg-dir
+
+# cat /nix/store/6pmjx56pm94n66n4qw1nff0y1crm8nqg-dir/bar
