+<h1><a href="../cli/npm-cache.html">npm-cache</a></h1> <p>Manipulates packages cache</p>
+<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
+<pre><code>npm cache add <tarball file>
+npm cache add <folder>
+npm cache add <tarball url>
+npm cache add <name>@<version>
+
+npm cache ls [<path>]
+
+npm cache clean [<path>]
+</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
+<p>Used to add, list, or clear the npm cache folder.</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p>add:
+Add the specified package to the local cache. This command is primarily
+intended to be used internally by npm, but it can provide a way to
+add data to the local installation cache explicitly.</p>
+</li>
+<li><p>ls:
+Show the data in the cache. Argument is a path to show in the cache
+folder. Works a bit like the <code>find</code> program, but limited by the
+<code>depth</code> config.</p>
+</li>
+<li><p>clean:
+Delete data out of the cache folder. If an argument is provided, then
+it specifies a subpath to delete. If no argument is provided, then
+the entire cache is cleared.</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<h2 id="details">DETAILS</h2>
+<p>npm stores cache data in the directory specified in <code>npm config get cache</code>.
+For each package that is added to the cache, three pieces of information are
+stored in <code>{cache}/{name}/{version}</code>:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>.../package/package.json:
+The package.json file, as npm sees it.</li>
+<li>.../package.tgz:
+The tarball for that version.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Additionally, whenever a registry request is made, a <code>.cache.json</code> file
+is placed at the corresponding URI, to store the ETag and the requested
+data. This is stored in <code>{cache}/{hostname}/{path}/.cache.json</code>.</p>
+<p>Commands that make non-essential registry requests (such as <code>search</code> and
+<code>view</code>, or the completion scripts) generally specify a minimum timeout.
+If the <code>.cache.json</code> file is younger than the specified timeout, then
+they do not make an HTTP request to the registry.</p>
+<h2 id="configuration">CONFIGURATION</h2>
+<h3 id="cache">cache</h3>
+<p>Default: <code>~/.npm</code> on Posix, or <code>%AppData%/npm-cache</code> on Windows.</p>
+<p>The root cache folder.</p>
