### Synopsis

<!-- AUTOGENERATED USAGE DESCRIPTIONS -->

### Description

This command tries to guess at the likely location of a package's documentation URL, and then tries to open it using the [`--browser` config](/using-npm/config#browser) param.
You can pass multiple package names at once.
If no package name is provided, it will search for a `package.json` in the current folder and use the `name` property.
