8 Synopsis
9 npm help <term> [<terms..>]
10
11 Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.
12
13 Description
14 If supplied a topic, then show the appropriate documentation page.
15
16 If the topic does not exist, or if multiple terms are provided, then
17 npm will run the help-search command to find a match. Note that, if
18 help-search finds a single subject, then it will run help on that
19 topic, so unique matches are equivalent to specifying a topic name.
