Specifying a code to [`process.exit(code)`][`process.exit()`] will override any
previous setting of `process.exitCode`.
## `process.finalization.register(ref, callback)`
<!-- YAML
added: REPLACEME
-->
> Stability: 1.1 - Active Development
* `ref` {Object | Function} The reference to the resource that is being tracked.
* `callback` {Function} The callback function to be called when the resource
is finalized.
* `ref` {Object | Function} The reference to the resource that is being tracked.
* `event` {string} The event that triggered the finalization. Defaults to 'exit'.
This function registers a callback to be called when the process emits the `exit`
event if the `ref` object was not garbage collected. If the object `ref` was garbage collected
before the `exit` event is emitted, the callback will be removed from the finalization registry,
and it will not be called on process exit.
Inside the callback you can release the resources allocated by the `ref` object.
Be aware that all limitations applied to the `beforeExit` event are also applied to the `callback` function,
this means that there is a possibility that the callback will not be called under special circumstances.
The idea of ​​this function is to help you free up resources when the starts process exiting,
but also let the object be garbage collected if it is no longer being used.
Eg: you can register an object that contains a buffer, you want to make sure that buffer is released
when the process exit, but if the object is garbage collected before the process exit, we no longer
need to release the buffer, so in this case we just remove the callback from the finalization registry.
```cjs
const { finalization } = require('node:process');

// Please make sure that the function passed to finalization.register()
// does not create a closure around unnecessary objects.
function onFinalize(obj, event) {
// You can do whatever you want with the object
obj.dispose();
}

function setup() {
// This object can be safely garbage collected,
// and the resulting shutdown function will not be called.
// There are no leaks.
const myDisposableObject = {
dispose() {
// Free your resources synchronously
},
};

finalization.register(myDisposableObject, onFinalize);
}

setup();
```
```mjs
import { finalization } from 'node:process';

// Please make sure that the function passed to finalization.register()
// does not create a closure around unnecessary objects.
function onFinalize(obj, event) {
// You can do whatever you want with the object
obj.dispose();
}

function setup() {
// This object can be safely garbage collected,
// and the resulting shutdown function will not be called.
// There are no leaks.
const myDisposableObject = {
dispose() {
// Free your resources synchronously
},
};

finalization.register(myDisposableObject, onFinalize);
}

setup();
```
The code above relies on the following assumptions:
* arrow functions are avoided
* regular functions are recommended to be within the global context (root)
Regular functions _could_ reference the context where the `obj` lives, making the `obj` not garbage collectible.
Arrow functions will hold the previous context. Consider, for example:
```js
class Test {
constructor() {
finalization.register(this, (ref) => ref.dispose());

// even something like this is highly discouraged
// finalization.register(this, () => this.dispose());
}
dispose() {}
}
```
It is very unlikely (not impossible) that this object will be garbage collected,
but if it is not, `dispose` will be called when `process.exit` is called.
Be careful and avoid relying on this feature for the disposal of critical resources,
as it is not guaranteed that the callback will be called under all circumstances.
## `process.finalization.registerBeforeExit(ref, callback)`
<!-- YAML
added: REPLACEME
-->
> Stability: 1.1 - Active Development
* `ref` {Object | Function} The reference
to the resource that is being tracked.
* `callback` {Function} The callback function to be called when the resource
is finalized.
* `ref` {Object | Function} The reference to the resource that is being tracked.
* `event` {string} The event that triggered the finalization. Defaults to 'beforeExit'.
This function behaves exactly like the `register`, except that the callback will be called
when the process emits the `beforeExit` event if `ref` object was not garbage collected.
Be aware that all limitations applied to the `beforeExit` event are also applied to the `callback` function,
this means that there is a possibility that the callback will not be called under special circumstances.
## `process.finalization.unregister(ref)`
<!-- YAML
added: REPLACEME
-->
> Stability: 1.1 - Active Development
* `ref` {Object | Function} The reference
to the resource that was registered previously.
This function remove the register of the object from the finalization
registry, so the callback will not be called anymore.
```cjs
const { finalization } = require('node:process');

// Please make sure that the function passed to finalization.register()
// does not create a closure around unnecessary objects.
function onFinalize(obj, event) {
// You can do whatever you want with the object
obj.dispose();
}

function setup() {
// This object can be safely garbage collected,
// and the resulting shutdown function will not be called.
// There are no leaks.
const myDisposableObject = {
dispose() {
// Free your resources synchronously
},
};

finalization.register(myDisposableObject, onFinalize);

// Do something

myDisposableObject.dispose();
finalization.unregister(myDisposableObject);
}

setup();
```
```mjs
import { finalization } from 'node:process';

// Please make sure that the function passed to finalization.register()
// does not create a closure around unnecessary objects.
function onFinalize(obj, event) {
// You can do whatever you want with the object
obj.dispose();
}

function setup() {
// This object can be safely garbage collected,
// and the resulting shutdown function will not be called.
// There are no leaks.
const myDisposableObject = {
dispose() {
// Free your resources synchronously
},
};

// Please make sure that the function passed to finalization.register()
// does not create a closure around unnecessary objects.
function onFinalize(obj, event) {
// You can do whatever you want with the object
obj.dispose();
}

finalization.register(myDisposableObject, onFinalize);

// Do something

myDisposableObject.dispose();
finalization.unregister(myDisposableObject);
}

setup();
