(guix store) has
(define-operation (add-indirect-root (string file-name))
"Make the symlink FILE-NAME an indirect root for the garbage collector:
whatever store item FILE-NAME points to will not be collected. Return #t on
success.
FILE-NAME can be anywhere on the file system, but it must be an absolute file
name--it is the caller's responsibility to ensure that it is an absolute file
name."
boolean)
Hope that helps.
Cheers
