+npm-load(3) -- Load config settings
+===================================
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+
+ npm.load(conf, cb)
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+
+npm.load() must be called before any other function call. Both parameters are
+optional, but the second is recommended.
+
+The first parameter is an object containing command-line config params, and the
+second parameter is a callback that will be called when npm is loaded and ready
+to serve.
+
+The first parameter should follow a similar structure as the package.json
+config object.
+
+For example, to emulate the --dev flag, pass an object that looks like this:
+
+ {
+ "dev": true
+ }
+
+For a list of all the available command-line configs, see `npm help config`
