**npm-help**

## Synopsis

\<!-- AUTOGENERATED USAGE DESCRIPTIONS --\>

Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.

## Description

If supplied a topic, then show the appropriate documentation page.

If the topic does not exist, or if multiple terms are provided, then npm\
 will run the **help-search** command to find a match.  Note that, if\
 **help-search** finds a single subject, then it will run **help** on that\
 topic, so unique matches are equivalent to specifying a topic name.
