.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \f(CW\*(C`prove\*(C'\fR command supports a \f(CW\*(C`\-\-state\*(C'\fR option that instructs it to
store persistent state across runs. This module implements that state
and the operations that may be performed on it.

.Sp
The filename of the data store holding the data that App::Prove::State reads.
.IP "\(bu" 4
