//! An abstraction over exfiltrating information out of signal handlers.
//!
//! The [`Exfiltrator`] trait provides a way to abstract the information extracted from a signal
//! handler and the way it is extracted out of it.
//!
//! The implementations can be used to parametrize the
//! [`SignalsInfo`][crate::iterator::SignalsInfo] to specify what results are returned.
//!
//! # Sealed
//!
//! Currently, the trait is sealed and all methods hidden. This is likely temporary, until some
//! experience with them is gained.
