# Examples
* Test whether connecting to a remote Nix store via SSH works:

# nix store info --store ssh://mac1
2020-12-09 17:55:59 +01:00
```
* Test whether a URL is a valid binary cache:
```console
2023-10-17 06:09:59 +02:00
# nix store info --store https://cache.nixos.org
2020-12-09 17:55:59 +01:00
```
* Test whether the Nix daemon is up and running:
```console
2023-10-17 06:09:59 +02:00
# nix store info --store daemon
2020-12-09 17:55:59 +01:00
```
# Description
This command tests whether a particular Nix store (specified by the
argument `--store` *url*) can be accessed. What this means is
dependent on the type of the store. For instance, for an SSH store it
means that Nix can connect to the specified machine.

If the command succeeds, Nix returns a exit code of 0 and does not
print any output.
