## Deprecate a version of a package

### Synopsis
```bash
npm deprecate <pkg>[@<version>] <message>
```

### Description

This command will update the npm registry entry for a package, providing
a deprecation warning to all who attempt to install it.

It works on [version ranges](https://semver.npmjs.com/) as well as specific 
versions, so you can do something like this:
```bash
npm deprecate my-thing@"< 0.2.3" "critical bug fixed in v0.2.3"
```

Note that you must be the package owner to deprecate something.  See the
`owner` and `adduser` help topics.

To un-deprecate a package, specify an empty string (`""`) for the `message` 
argument. Note that you must use double quotes with no space between them to 
format an empty string.
