`__contentAddressed` is ignored, because fixed-output derivations always content-address their outputs, by definition.
**TODO CHECK**
-->
- [(Floating) content-addressing derivations](@docroot@/store/derivation/outputs/content-address.md)
Both [`outputHashAlgo`] and [`outputHashMode`], `__contentAddressed = true;`, and *not* `outputHash`.
If an output hash was given, then the derivation output would be "fixed" not "floating".
Here is more information on the `output*` attributes, and what values they may be set to:
- [`outputHashMode`]{#adv-attr-outputHashMode}
This specifies how the files of a content-addressing derivation output are digested to produce a content address.
This works in conjunction with [`outputHashAlgo`](#adv-attr-outputHashAlgo).
Specifying one without the other is an error (unless [`outputHash` is also specified and includes its own hash algorithm as described below).
The `outputHashMode` attribute determines how the hash is computed.
It must be one of the following values:
- [`"flat"`](@docroot@/store/store-object/content-address.md#method-flat)
This is the default.
- [`"recursive"` or `"nar"`](@docroot@/store/store-object/content-address.md#method-nix-archive)
> **Compatibility**
>
> `"recursive"` is the traditional way of indicating this,
> and is supported since 2005 (virtually the entire history of Nix).
> `"nar"` is more clear, and consistent with other parts of Nix (such as the CLI),
> however support for it is only added in Nix version 2.21.
- [`"text"`](@docroot@/store/store-object/content-address.md#method-text)
> **Warning**
>
> The use of this method for derivation outputs is part of the [`dynamic-derivations`][xp-feature-dynamic-derivations] experimental feature.
- [`"git"`](@docroot@/store/store-object/content-address.md#method-git)
> **Warning**
>
> This method is part of the [`git-hashing`][xp-feature-git-hashing] experimental feature.
See [content-addressing store objects](@docroot@/store/store-object/content-address.md) for more information about the process this flag controls.
- [`outputHashAlgo`]{#adv-attr-outputHashAlgo}
This specifies the hash algorithm used to digest the [file system object] data of a content-addressing derivation output.
This works in conjunction with [`outputHashMode`](#adv-attr-outputHashAlgo).
