26 // This class allows access to the PBackground protocol. PBackground allows
27 // communication between any thread (in the parent or a child process) and a
28 // single background thread in the parent process. Each PBackgroundChild
29 // instance is tied to the thread on which it is created and must not be shared
30 // across threads. Each PBackgroundChild is unique and valid as long as its
31 // designated thread lives.
32 //
33 // Creation of PBackground is asynchronous. GetForCurrentThread() will return
34 // null until the sequence is complete. GetOrCreateForCurrentThread() will start
35 // the creation sequence and will call back via the
36 // nsIIPCBackgroundChildCreateCallback interface when completed. Thereafter
37 // (assuming success) GetForCurrentThread() will return the same actor every
38 // time.
39 //
40 // The PBackgroundChild actor and all its sub-protocol actors will be
41 // automatically destroyed when its designated thread completes.
