+\fBnpm-load\fR \- Load config settings
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.P
+.RS 2
+.nf
+npm\.load(conf, cb)
+.fi
+.RE
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.P
+npm\.load() must be called before any other function call\. Both parameters are
+optional, but the second is recommended\.
+.P
+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\.
+.P
+The first parameter should follow a similar structure as the package\.json
+config object\.
+.P
+For example, to emulate the \-\-dev flag, pass an object that looks like this:
+.P
+.RS 2
+.nf
+{
+ "dev": true
+}
