- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .P
- This command removes "extraneous" packages\. If a package name is
- provided, then only packages matching one of the supplied names are
- removed\.
- .P
- Extraneous packages are packages that are not listed on the parent
- package's dependencies list\.
- .P
- If the \fB\-\-production\fP flag is specified or the \fBNODE_ENV\fP environment
- variable is set to \fBproduction\fP, this command will remove the packages
- specified in your \fBdevDependencies\fP\|\. Setting \fB\-\-no\-production\fP will
- negate \fBNODE_ENV\fP being set to \fBproduction\fP\|\.
- .P
- If the \fB\-\-dry\-run\fP flag is used then no changes will actually be made\.
- .P
- If the \fB\-\-json\fP flag is used then the changes \fBnpm prune\fP made (or would
- have made with \fB\-\-dry\-run\fP) are printed as a JSON object\.
- .P
- In normal operation with package\-locks enabled, extraneous modules are
- pruned automatically when modules are installed and you'll only need
- this command with the \fB\-\-production\fP flag\.
- .P
- If you've disabled package\-locks then extraneous modules will not be removed
- and it's up to you to run \fBnpm prune\fP from time\-to\-time to remove them\.
