killable

Keeps track of a server's open sockets so they can be destroyed at a moment's notice. This way, the server connection can be killed very fast.

# Installation

npm install killable

# Example usage

Using express: ('server' in the example is just an `http.server`, so other frameworks or pure Node should work just as well.)

var killable = require('killable');
var app = require('express')();
var server;
app.route('/', function (req, res, next) {
res.send('Server is going down NOW!');
server.kill(function () {
//the server is down when this is called. That won't take long.
});
});
var server = app.listen(8080);
killable(server);

# API

The `killable` module is callable. When you call it on a Node `http.Server` object, it will add a `server.kill()` method on it. It returns the server object.

`server.kill([callback])` closes all open sockets and calls `server.close()`, to which the `callback` is passed on.
