IBinMap | package-json-type

An executable file which will be installed into the PATH with a package install. npm will symlink that file into prefix/bin for global installs, or ./node_modules/.bin/ for local installs.

{
  "bin" : {
    "myapp" : "./cli.js"
  }
}

For example, with linux if you install myapp, it'll create a symlink from the cli.js script to /usr/local/bin/myapp.
