### Synopsis

<!-- AUTOGENERATED USAGE DESCRIPTIONS -->

### Description

This command runs the `npm build` command on the matched folders.  This is
useful when you install a new version of node, and must recompile all your
C++ addons with the new binary.  It is also useful when installing with
`--ignore-scripts` and `--no-bin-links`, to explicitly choose which
packages to build and/or link bins.

If one or more package specs are provided, then only packages with a
name and version matching one of the specifiers will be rebuilt.
