what is the .nix file when formating a reference database with novoindex?

I am trying to format a reference database for alignment in the next step. But what is the hg18.nix? where can I find and download it?

   novoindex  hg19.nix  hg19.fasta

The command is from novoalign official documentation

Run this command and you will get it. It is the index the tool builds from the genome fasta. In this case hg19.nix is the output name for this command.
