11   Description
12       For  anything  that's  installable (that is, a package folder, tarball,
13       tarball url, name@tag, name@version, name, or scoped name),  this  com‐
14       mand  will fetch it to the cache, and then copy the tarball to the cur‐
15       rent working directory as  <name>-<version>.tgz,  and  then  write  the
16       filenames out to stdout.
17
18       If  the same package is specified multiple times, then the file will be
19       overwritten the second time.
20
21       If no arguments are  supplied,  then  npm  packs  the  current  package
22       folder.
23
24       The  --dry-run argument will do everything that pack usually does with‐
25       out actually packing anything. Reports on what would have gone into the
26       tarball.
