npm commands

## NAME

**npm-commands** - npm commands

## SYNOPSIS

```
npm.commands[<command>](args, callback)
```

## DESCRIPTION

npm comes with a full set of commands, and each of the commands takes a similar set of arguments.

In general, all commands on the command object take an **array** of positional argument **strings**. The last argument to any function is a callback. Some commands are special and take other optional arguments.

All commands have their own man page. See **man npm-\<command\>** for command-line usage, or **man 3 npm-\<command\>** for programmatic usage.
