.SS "Description"
.P
This command repurposes \fBpackage-lock.json\fR into a publishable \fBnpm-shrinkwrap.json\fR or simply creates a new one. The file created and updated by this command will then take precedence over any other existing or future \fBpackage-lock.json\fR files. For a detailed explanation of the design and purpose of package locks in npm, see npm help package-lock-json.
