-// This class acts as the browser-side host to a utility child process.  A
-// utility process is a short-lived sandboxed process that is created to run
-// a specific task.  This class lives solely on the IO thread.
-// If you need a single method call in the sandbox, use StartFooBar(p).
-// If you need multiple batches of work to be done in the sandboxed process,
-// use StartBatchMode(), then multiple calls to StartFooBar(p),
-// then finish with EndBatchMode().
-//
-// Note: If your class keeps a ptr to an object of this type, grab a weak ptr to
-// avoid a use after free.  See http://crbug.com/108871.
