exit-signal

exit-signal is a Node.js utility for handling process termination gracefully. The process.on('exit') event does not capture every method by which a process can terminate. By registering custom exit handlers, you can ensure proper cleanup and effective resource management.

// Example 2: Register an exit handler for specific signals
onExit(async (exitCode) => {
  console.log(`Received ${exitCode}. Performing async cleanup...`);
