<h2 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h2>

<pre><code>npm.commands.explore(args, callback)</code></pre>

<h2 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h2>

<p>Spawn a subshell in the directory of the installed package specified.</p>

<p>If a command is specified, then it is run in the subshell, which then
immediately terminates.</p>

<p>Note that the package is <em>not</em> automatically rebuilt afterwards, so be
sure to use <code>npm rebuild &lt;pkg&gt;</code> if you make any changes.</p>

<p>The first element in the &#39;args&#39; parameter must be a package name.  After that is the optional command, which can be any number of strings. All of the strings will be combined into one, space-delimited command.</p>
