+// NOTE: A ChannelHandle with a pipe handle Will NOT be marshalled over IPC.

 // On POSIX, we instead pass around handles to channel endpoints via IPC.
 // When it's time to IPC a new channel endpoint around, we send both the
 // channel name as well as a base::FileDescriptor, which is itself a special
