## Files and Processes
Nix provides a mapping between its store model and the [Unix paradigm](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything_is_a_file) on the interplay of [files and processes](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_descriptor).
Nix provides a mapping between its store model and the [Unix paradigm](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything_is_a_file) that governs the interplay of [files and processes](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_descriptor).
