.SH SYNOPSIS

npm init [\-f|\-\-force|\-y|\-\-yes]

.SH DESCRIPTION
.P
This will ask you a bunch of questions, and then write a package\.json for you\.
.P
It attempts to make reasonable guesses about what you want things to be set to,
and then writes a package\.json file with the options you've selected\.
.P
If you already have a package\.json file, it'll read that first, and default to
the options in there\.
.P
It is strictly additive, so it does not delete options from your package\.json
without a really good reason to do so\.
.P
If you invoke it with \fB\-f\fP, \fB\-\-force\fP, \fB\-y\fP, or \fB\-\-yes\fP, it will use only
defaults and not prompt you for any options\.
