Details

The npm node package manager which is shipped with nodejs comes with man pages but they are not symlinked to the appropriate /usr/share/man subdirectories.

According to the npm-folders man page:

"When in global mode, man pages are linked into {prefix}/share/man."

As npm is itself a node package, I'm assuming it too should have its man pages linked under /usr/share/man.

I'm not sure if the is Arch-specific or an upstream issue, but I'm am reporting the issue nonetheless.
This task depends upon
