Description

node.js does not natively support dgram over UNIX sockets, and this makes talking to ubus (and so, systemd) more painful than it should. See https://www.pluralsight.com/tech-blog/using-systemd-notify-with-nodejs/

There are no great packages built on n-api offering this in Node land.

Would this be the right project to suggest creating bindings for sd_notify?
