Synopsis
npm help <term> [<terms..>]Description
If supplied a topic, then show the appropriate documentation page.
If the topic does not exist, or if multiple terms are provided, then 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.
