### Synopsis

```bash
npm help <term> [<terms..>]

alias: hlep
```

Note: This command is unaware of workspaces.

### Description

If supplied a topic, then show the appropriate documentation page.

If the topic does not exist, or if multiple terms are provided, then npm
will run the `help-search` command to find a match.  Note that, if
`help-search` finds a single subject, then it will run `help` on that
topic, so unique matches are equivalent to specifying a topic name.

### Configuration

#### `viewer`

* Default: "man" on Posix, "browser" on Windows
* Type: String

The program to use to view help content.

Set to `"browser"` to view html help content in the default web browser.
