What is Exiting / Exit Codes?
When a Node.js process finishes, it exits with a numeric exit code that signals whether it succeeded or failed. An exit code of 0 means success; any non-zero code indicates an error. You can set the exit code explicitly using process.exit(code) or by setting process.exitCode.
