  "readme": "realize-package-specifier\n-------------------------\n\nParse a package specifier, peeking at the disk to differentiate between\nlocal tarballs, directories and named modules.  This implements the logic\nused by `npm install` and `npm cache` to determine where to get packages\nfrom.\n\n```javascript\nvar realizePackageSpecifier = require(\"realize-package-specifier\")\nrealizePackageSpecifier(\"foo.tar.gz\", \".\", function (err, package) {\n    …\n})\n```\n\n* realizePackageSpecifier(*spec*, [*where*,] *callback*)\n\nParses *spec* using `npm-package-arg` and then uses stat to check to see if\nit refers to a local tarball or package directory.  Stats are done relative\nto *where*.  If it does then the local module is loaded.  If it doesn't then\ntarget is left as a remote package specifier.  Package directories are\nrecognized by the presence of a package.json in them.\n\n*spec* -- a package specifier, like: `foo@1.2`, or `foo@user/foo`, or\n`http://x.com/foo.tgz`, or `git+https://github.com/user/foo`\n\n*where* (optional, default: .) -- The directory in which we should look for\nlocal tarballs or package directories.\n\n*callback* function(*err*, *result*) -- Called once we've determined what\nkind of specifier this is.  The *result* object will be very like the one\nreturned by `npm-package-arg` except with three differences: 1) There's a\nnew type of `directory`.  2) The `local` type only refers to tarballs.  2)\nFor all `local` and `directory` type results spec will contain the full path of\nthe local package.\n\n## Result Objects\n\nThe full definition of the result object is:\n\n* `name` - If known, the `name` field expected in the resulting pkg.\n* `type` - One of the following strings:\n  * `git` - A git repo\n  * `github` - A github shorthand, like `user/project`\n  * `tag` - A tagged version, like `\"foo@latest\"`\n  * `version` - A specific version number, like `\"foo@1.2.3\"`\n  * `range` - A version range, like `\"foo@2.x\"`\n  * `local` - A local file path\n  * `directory` - A local package directory\n  * `remote` - An http url (presumably to a tgz)\n* `spec` - The \"thing\".  URL, the range, git repo, etc.\n* `raw` - The original un-modified string that was provided.\n* `rawSpec` - The part after the `name@...`, as it was originally\n  provided.\n* `scope` - If a name is something like `@org/module` then the `scope`\n  field will be set to `org`.  If it doesn't have a scoped name, then\n  scope is `null`.\n\n",
