+<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
+<pre><code>npm.commands.init(args, callback)
+</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
+<p>This will ask you a bunch of questions, and then write a package.json for you.</p>
+<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>
+<p>If you already have a package.json file, it'll read that first, and default to
+the options in there.</p>
+<p>It is strictly additive, so it does not delete options from your package.json
+without a really good reason to do so.</p>
+<p>Since this function expects to be run on the command-line, it doesn't work very
+well as a programmatically. The best option is to roll your own, and since
+JavaScript makes it stupid simple to output formatted JSON, that is the
+preferred method. If you're sure you want to handle command-line prompting,
+then go ahead and use this programmatically.</p>
