// child_port provides an interface for port rights to be transferred between
// tasks. Its expected usage is for processes to be able to pass port rights
// across IPC boundaries. A child process may wish to give its parent a copy of
// a send right to its own task port, or a parent process may wish to give a
// receive right to a child process that implements a server.
//
// This Mach subsystem defines the lowest-level interface for these rights to be
// transferred. Most users will not user this interface directly, but will use
// ChildPortHandshake, which builds on this interface by providing client and
// server implementations, along with a protocol for establishing communication
// in a parent-child process relationship.

// Sends a Mach port right across an IPC boundary.
//
// server[in]: The server to send the port right to.
// token[in]: A random opaque token, generated by the server and communicated to
// the client through some secure means such as a shared pipe. The client
// includes the token in its request to prove its authenticity to the
// server. This parameter is necessary for instances where the server must
// publish its service broadly, such as via the bootstrap server. When this
// is done, anyone with access to the bootstrap server will be able to gain
// rights to communicate with |server|, and |token| serves as a shared
// secret allowing the server to verify that it has received a request from
// the intended client. |server| will reject requests with an invalid
// |token|.
// port[in]: A port right to transfer to the server.
//
// Return value: As this is a “simpleroutine”, the server does not respond to
// the client request, and the client does not block waiting for a response
// after sending its request. The return value is MACH_MSG_SUCCESS if the
// request was queued for the server, without any indication of whether the
// server considered the request valid or took any action. On data
// validation or mach_msg() failure, another code will be returned
// indicating the nature of the error.
