server.listen() made easy

lstn

lstn makes it more straightforward to listen on unix sockets by deleting old sockets when present and setting the mode of the created socket file.

Usage

lstn(server, socket[, mode][, callback]);

// Instead of
server.listen("/path/to/socket.sock", function(err){ /* ... */ });

// do it like this
var lstn = require("lstn");

lstn(server, "/path/to/socket.sock", 0o777, function(err){ /* ... */ })

When you use port and hostname arguments instead, they just get passed through.
