_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.

});

// Unsubscribe the handler
unsubscribe();

onExit(async (exitCode) => {
  console.log(`Received ${exitCode}. Performing async cleanup...`);
