| .SS "Description" | |
| .P | |
| Enables tab-completion in all npm commands. | |
| .P | |
| The synopsis above loads the completions into your current shell. Adding it to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc will make the completions available everywhere: | |
| .P | |
| .RS 2 | |
| .nf | |
| npm completion >> ~/.bashrc | |
| npm completion >> ~/.zshrc | |
| .fi | |

| You may of course also pipe the output of \fBnpm completion\fR to a file such as \fB/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/npm\fR or \fB/etc/bash_completion.d/npm\fR if you have a system that will read that file for you. | |
| .P | |
| When \fBCOMP_CWORD\fR, \fBCOMP_LINE\fR, and \fBCOMP_POINT\fR are defined in the environment, \fBnpm completion\fR acts in "plumbing mode", and outputs completions based on the arguments. | |
