+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.P
+.RS 2
+.nf

+npm v [@<scope>/]<name>[@<version>] [<field>[\.<subfield>]\.\.\.]

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.P
+This command shows data about a package and prints it to the stream
+referenced by the \fBoutfd\fP config, which defaults to stdout\.
+.P
+To show the package registry entry for the \fBconnect\fP package, you can do
+this:
+.P
+.RS 2
+.nf
+npm view connect
+.fi
+.RE
+.P
+The default version is "latest" if unspecified\.
+.P
+Field names can be specified after the package descriptor\.
+For example, to show the dependencies of the \fBronn\fP package at version
+0\.3\.5, you could do the following:
+.P
+.RS 2
+.nf
+npm view ronn@0\.3\.5 dependencies
+.fi
+.RE
+.P
+You can view child fields by separating them with a period\.
+To view the git repository URL for the latest version of npm, you could
+do this:
+.P
+.RS 2
+.nf
+npm view npm repository\.url
+.fi
+.RE
+.P
+This makes it easy to view information about a dependency with a bit of
+shell scripting\. For example, to view all the data about the version of
+opts that ronn depends on, you can do this:
+.P
+.RS 2
+.nf
+npm view opts@$(npm view ronn dependencies\.opts)
+.fi
+.RE
+.P
+For fields that are arrays, requesting a non\-numeric field will return
+all of the values from the objects in the list\. For example, to get all
+the contributor names for the "express" project, you can do this:
+.P
+.RS 2
+.nf
+npm view express contributors\.email
+.fi
+.RE
+.P
+You may also use numeric indices in square braces to specifically select
+an item in an array field\. To just get the email address of the first
+contributor in the list, you can do this:
+.P
+.RS 2
+.nf
+npm view express contributors[0]\.email
+.fi
+.RE
+.P
+Multiple fields may be specified, and will be printed one after another\.
+For exampls, to get all the contributor names and email addresses, you
+can do this:
+.P
+.RS 2
+.nf
+npm view express contributors\.name contributors\.email
+.fi
+.RE
+.P
+"Person" fields are shown as a string if they would be shown as an
+object\. So, for example, this will show the list of npm contributors in
+the shortened string format\. (See npm help 5 \fBpackage\.json\fP for more on this\.)
+.P
+.RS 2
+.nf
+npm view npm contributors
+.fi
+.RE
+.P
+If a version range is provided, then data will be printed for every
+matching version of the package\. This will show which version of jsdom
+was required by each matching version of yui3:
+.P
+.RS 2
+.nf
+npm view yui3@'>0\.5\.4' dependencies\.jsdom
+.fi
+.RE
+.P
+To show the \fBconnect\fP package version history, you can do
+this:
+.P
+.RS 2
+.nf
+npm view connect versions
+.fi
+.RE
+.SH OUTPUT
+.P
+If only a single string field for a single version is output, then it
+will not be colorized or quoted, so as to enable piping the output to
+another command\. If the field is an object, it will be output as a JavaScript object literal\.
+.P
+If the \-\-json flag is given, the outputted fields will be JSON\.
+.P
+If the version range matches multiple versions, than each printed value
+will be prefixed with the version it applies to\.
+.P
+If multiple fields are requested, than each of them are prefixed with
+the field name\.
