+Read a complete IPLD graph from a provided datastore and store the blocks in
+a CAR file.
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+* **`root`** _(`Block`)_: the root of the graph to start at, this block will be
+  included in the CAR and its CID will be set as the single root.
+* **`get`** _(`AsyncFunction`)_: an `async` function that takes a CID and returns
+  a `Block`. Can be used to attach to an arbitrary data store.
+* **`car`** _(`CarDatastore`)_: a writable `CarDatastore` that has not yet been
+  written to (`setRoots()` will be called on it which requires that no data
+  has been written).
+* **`concurrency`** _(`number`, optional, default=`1`)_: how many asynchronous `get` operations to
+  perform at once.
