## Store Object
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A Nix store is a collection of *store objects* with *references* between them.
|
||
|
|
A store object consists of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- A [file system object](./file-system-object.md) as data
|
||
|
|
- A set of [store paths](@docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-path) as references to other store objects
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Store objects are [immutable](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immutable_object):
|
||
|
|
Once created, they do not change until they are deleted.
