+ Verify the contents of the cache folder, garbage collecting any unneeded data,

## DETAILS
-npm stores cache data in the directory specified in `npm config get cache`.
-For each package that is added to the cache, three pieces of information are
-stored in `{cache}/{name}/{version}`:
+npm stores cache data in an opaque directory within the configured `cache`,
+named `_cacache`. This directory is a `cacache`-based content-addressable cache
+that stores all http request data as well as other package-related data. This
+directory is primarily accessed through `pacote`, the library responsible for
+all package fetching as of npm@5.
+
+All data that passes through the cache is fully verified for integrity on both
+insertion and extraction. Cache corruption will either trigger an error, or
+signal to `pacote` that the data must be refetched, which it will do
+automatically. For this reason, it should never be necessary to clear the cache
+for any reason other than reclaiming disk space, thus why `clean` now requires
+`--force` to run.
+
+There is currently no method exposed through npm to inspect or directly manage
+the contents of this cache. In order to access it, `cacache` must be used
+directly.
+
+npm will not remove data by itself: the cache will grow as new packages are
+installed.
-* .../package/package.json:
- The package.json file, as npm sees it.
-* .../package.tgz:
- The tarball for that version.
+## A NOTE ABOUT THE CACHE'S DESIGN
-Additionally, whenever a registry request is made, a `.cache.json` file
-is placed at the corresponding URI, to store the ETag and the requested
-data. This is stored in `{cache}/{hostname}/{path}/.cache.json`.
+The npm cache is strictly a cache: it should not be relied upon as a persistent
+and reliable data store for package data. npm makes no guarantee that a
+previously-cached piece of data will be available later, and will automatically
+delete corrupted contents. The primary guarantee that the cache makes is that,
+if it does return data, that data will be exactly the data that was inserted.
-Commands that make non-essential registry requests (such as `search` and
-`view`, or the completion scripts) generally specify a minimum timeout.
-If the `.cache.json` file is younger than the specified timeout, then
-they do not make an HTTP request to the registry.
+To run an offline verification of existing cache contents, use `npm cache
+verify`.

=====================================================
## SYNOPSIS
@@ -7,181 +7,11 @@ npm-shrinkwrap(1) -- Lock down dependency versions
## DESCRIPTION
-This command locks down the versions of a package's dependencies so
-that you can control exactly which versions of each dependency will be
-used when your package is installed. The `package.json` file is still
-required if you want to use `npm install`.
-
-By default, `npm install` recursively installs the target's
-dependencies (as specified in `package.json`), choosing the latest
-available version that satisfies the dependency's semver pattern. In
-some situations, particularly when shipping software where each change
-is tightly managed, it's desirable to fully specify each version of
-each dependency recursively so that subsequent builds and deploys do
-not inadvertently pick up newer versions of a dependency that satisfy
-the semver pattern. Specifying specific semver patterns in each
-dependency's `package.json` would facilitate this, but that's not always
-possible or desirable, as when another author owns the npm package.
-It's also possible to check dependencies directly into source control,
-but that may be undesirable for other reasons.
-
-As an example, consider package A:
-
- {
- "name": "A",
- "version": "0.1.0",
- "dependencies": {
- "B": "<0.1.0"
- }
- }
-
-package B:
-
- {
- "name": "B",
- "version": "0.0.1",
- "dependencies": {
- "C": "<0.1.0"
- }
- }
-
-and package C:
-
- {
- "name": "C",
- "version": "0.0.1"
- }
-
-If these are the only versions of A, B, and C available in the
-registry, then a normal `npm install A` will install:
-
- A@0.1.0
- `-- B@0.0.1
- `-- C@0.0.1
-
-However, if B@0.0.2 is published, then a fresh `npm install A` will
-install:
-
- A@0.1.0
- `-- B@0.0.2
- `-- C@0.0.1
-
-assuming the new version did not modify B's dependencies. Of course,
-the new version of B could include a new version of C and any number
-of new dependencies. If such changes are undesirable, the author of A
-could specify a dependency on B@0.0.1. However, if A's author and B's
-author are not the same person, there's no way for A's author to say
-that he or she does not want to pull in newly published versions of C
-when B hasn't changed at all.
-
-In this case, A's author can run
-
- npm shrinkwrap
-
-This generates `npm-shrinkwrap.json`, which will look something like this:
-
- {
- "name": "A",
- "version": "0.1.0",
- "dependencies": {
- "B": {
- "version": "0.0.1",
- "from": "B@^0.0.1",
- "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/B/-/B-0.0.1.tgz",
- "dependencies": {
- "C": {
- "version": "0.0.1",
- "from": "org/C#v0.0.1",
- "resolved": "git://github.com/org/C.git#5c380ae319fc4efe9e7f2d9c78b0faa588fd99b4"
- }
- }
- }
- }
- }
-
-The shrinkwrap command has locked down the dependencies based on what's
-currently installed in `node_modules`. The installation behavior is changed to:
-
-1. The module tree described by the shrinkwrap is reproduced. This means
-reproducing the structure described in the file, using the specific files
-referenced in "resolved" if available, falling back to normal package
-resolution using "version" if one isn't.
-
-2. The tree is walked and any missing dependencies are installed in the usual fashion.
-
-If `preshrinkwrap`, `shrinkwrap` or `postshrinkwrap` are in the `scripts` property of the
-`package.json`, they will be executed by running `npm shrinkwrap`.
-`preshrinkwrap` and `shrinkwrap` are executed before the shrinkwrap, `postshrinkwrap` is
-executed afterwards. For example to run some postprocessing on the generated file:
-
- "scripts": { "postshrinkwrap": "node fix-shrinkwrap.js" }
-
-
-### Using shrinkwrapped packages
-
-Using a shrinkwrapped package is no different than using any other
-package: you can `npm install` it by hand, or add a dependency to your
-`package.json` file and `npm install` it.
-
-### Building shrinkwrapped packages
-
-To shrinkwrap an existing package:
-
-1. Run `npm install` in the package root to install the current
- versions of all dependencies.
-2. Validate that the package works as expected with these versions.
-3. Run `npm shrinkwrap`, add `npm-shrinkwrap.json` to git, and publish
- your package.
-
-To add or update a dependency in a shrinkwrapped package:
-
-1. Run `npm install` in the package root to install the current
- versions of all dependencies.
-2. Add or update dependencies. `npm install --save` or `npm install --save-dev`
- each new or updated package individually to update the `package.json` and
- the shrinkwrap. Note that they must be explicitly named in order to be
- installed: running `npm install` with no arguments will merely reproduce
- the existing shrinkwrap.
-3. Validate that the package works as expected with the new
- dependencies.
-4. Commit the new `npm-shrinkwrap.json`, and publish your package.
-
-You can use npm-outdated(1) to view dependencies with newer versions
-available.
-
-### Other Notes
-
-A shrinkwrap file must be consistent with the package's `package.json`
-file. `npm shrinkwrap` will fail if required dependencies are not
-already installed, since that would result in a shrinkwrap that
-wouldn't actually work. Similarly, the command will fail if there are
-extraneous packages (not referenced by `package.json`), since that would
-indicate that `package.json` is not correct.
-
-Starting with npm v4.0.1, `devDependencies` are included when you run
-`npm shrinkwrap` and follow the usual rules as to when they're installed.
-As of npm v3.10.8, if you run `npm install --only=production` or
-`npm install --production` with a shrinkwrap including your development
-dependencies they won't be installed. Similarly, if the environment
-variable `NODE_ENV` is `production` then they won't be installed. If you
-need compatibility with versions of npm prior to v3.10.8 or otherwise
-don't want them in your shrinkwrap you can exclude development
-dependencies with:
-`npm shrinkwrap --only=prod` or `npm shrinkwrap --production`.
-
-If shrinkwrapped package A depends on shrinkwrapped package B, B's
-shrinkwrap will not be used as part of the installation of A. However,
-because A's shrinkwrap is constructed from a valid installation of B
-and recursively specifies all dependencies, the contents of B's
-shrinkwrap will implicitly be included in A's shrinkwrap.
-
-### Caveats
-
-If you wish to lock down the specific bytes included in a package, for
-example to have 100% confidence in being able to reproduce a
-deployment or build, then you ought to check your dependencies into
-source control, or pursue some other mechanism that can verify
-contents rather than versions.
+This command repurposes `package-lock.json` into a publishable
+`npm-shrinkwrap.json` or simply creates a new one. The file created and updated
+by this command will then take precedence over any other existing or future

+of package locks in npm, see npm-package-locks(5).
