13 <pre><code>npm.commands.deprecate(args, callback)</code></pre>
15 <h2 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h2>
17 <p>This command will update the npm registry entry for a package, providing
18 a deprecation warning to all who attempt to install it.</p>
20 <p>The 'args' parameter must have exactly two elements:</p>
22 <ul><li><p><code>package[@version]</code></p><p>The <code>version</code> portion is optional, and may be either a range, or a
23 specific version, or a tag.</p></li><li><p><code>message</code></p><p>The warning message that will be printed whenever a user attempts to
24 install the package.</p></li></ul>
26 <p>Note that you must be the package owner to deprecate something. See the
27 <code>owner</code> and <code>adduser</code> help topics.</p>
29 <p>To un-deprecate a package, specify an empty string (<code>""</code>) for the <code>message</code> argument.</p>
