<pre><code>npm.commands.pack([packages,] callback)</code></pre>
<h2 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>For anything that's installable (that is, a package folder, tarball,
tarball url, name@tag, name@version, or name), this command will fetch
it to the cache, and then copy the tarball to the current working
directory as <code><name>-<version>.tgz</code>, and then write the filenames out to
stdout.</p>
<p>If the same package is specified multiple times, then the file will be
overwritten the second time.</p>
<p>If no arguments are supplied, then npm packs the current package folder.</p>
