Adding it to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc will make the completions available everywhere.</p> <p>You may of course also pipe the output of npm completion to a file such as <code>/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/npm</code> if you have a system that will read that file for you.</p> <p>When <code>COMP_CWORD</code>, <code>COMP_LINE</code>, and <code>COMP_POINT</code> are defined in the environment, <code>npm completion</code> acts in "plumbing mode", and outputs completions based on the arguments.</p> <h2 id="see-also">SEE ALSO</h2> <ul> <li><a href="../misc/npm-developers.html"><a href="../misc/npm-developers.html">npm-developers(7)</a></a></li> <li><a href="../misc/npm-faq.html"><a href="../misc/npm-faq.html">npm-faq(7)</a></a></li> <li><a href="../cli/npm.html"><a href="../cli/npm.html">npm(1)</a></a></li> </ul> </div> <table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 id=npmlogo> <tr><td style="width:180px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)" colspan=18> </td></tr> <tr><td rowspan=4 style="width:10px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)"> </td><td style="width:40px;height:10px;background:#fff" colspan=4> </td><td style="width:10px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)" rowspan=4> </td><td style="width:40px;height:10px;background:#fff" colspan=4> </td><td rowspan=4 style="width:10px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)"> </td><td colspan=6 style="width:60px;height:10px;background:#fff"> </td><td style="width:10px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)" rowspan=4> </td></tr> <tr><td colspan=2 style="width:20px;height:30px;background:#fff" rowspan=3> </td><td style="width:10px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)" rowspan=3> </td><td style="width:10px;height:10px;background:#fff" rowspan=3> </td><td style="width:20px;height:10px;background:#fff" rowspan=4 colspan=2> </td><td style="width:10px;height:20px;background:rgb(237,127,127)" rowspan=2> </td><td style="width:10px;height:10px;background:#fff" rowspan=3> </td><td style="width:20px;height:10px;background:#fff" rowspan=3 colspan=2> </td><td style="width:10px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)" rowspan=3> </td><td style="width:10px;height:10px;background:#fff" rowspan=3> </td><td style="width:10px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)" rowspan=3> </td></tr> <tr><td style="width:10px;height:10px;background:#fff" rowspan=2> </td></tr> <tr><td style="width:10px;height:10px;background:#fff"> </td></tr> <tr><td style="width:60px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)" colspan=6> </td><td colspan=10 style="width:10px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)"> </td></tr> <tr><td colspan=5 style="width:50px;height:10px;background:#fff"> </td><td style="width:40px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)" colspan=4> </td><td style="width:90px;height:10px;background:#fff" colspan=9> </td></tr> </table> <p id="footer">npm-completion — npm@2.1.3</p>
