Unix-Socket-Streams2

This is a small helper library that accomplishes a few purposes for more easily dealing with unix domain sockets.

- It supports both tcp (streaming) and udp (datagram) modes, and will attempt to switch to the appropriate mode if you open the socket in the wrong mode and/or simply don't know
- It wraps the library node-unix-datagram in a "proper" Node streams2 stream, including incorporating that module's congestion control mechanism

That's really all there is to it.

$3

npm install unix-socket-streams2

$3

var UnixStream = require('unix-socket-streams2');
var socket = new UnixStream();
socket.connect('/path/to/socket', function (err, stream) { });

$3

#### UnixStream#connect

socket.connect(path, opts callback);

You may specify the type of socket to initially attempt to connect as like so:

var socket = new UnixStream('/path/to/socket', { type: 'tcp' });

Valid options are 'tcp' and 'dgram'

#### UnixStream#end

socket.end(callback);

#### UnixStream#write

socket.write(callback);
