finalizer
Pre-collection cleanup method
A finalizer is a method or routine that performs cleanup when an object is about to be destroyed, typically releasing resources like file handles or memory that the object was holding.
In garbage-collected languages, finalizers run automatically before the garbage collector reclaims an object: The finalizer closes the database connection.
Also called a destructor in some languages.
