// Sandbox is a sandbox library for windows processes. Use when you want a
// 'privileged' process and a 'locked down process' to interact with.
// The privileged process is called the broker and it is started by external
// means (such as the user starting it). The 'sandboxed' process is called the
// target and it is started by the broker. There can be many target processes
// started by a single broker process. This library provides facilities
// for both the broker and the target.
//
// The design rationale and relevant documents can be found at http://go/sbox.
//
// Note: this header does not include the SandboxFactory definitions because
// there are cases where the Sandbox library is linked against the main .exe
// while its API needs to be used in a DLL.

//  PROCESS_INFORMATION target;
//  broker->SpawnTarget(target_exe_path, target_args, &target);

  //   exe_path: This is the full path to the target binary. This parameter

  //   of the command_line.
  //   command_line: The arguments to be passed as command line to the new
  //   process. This can be null if the exe_path parameter is not null.
  //   policy: This is the pointer to the policy object for the sandbox to
  //   be created.
  //   last_warning: The argument will contain an indication on whether
  //   the process security was initialized completely, Only set if the
  //   process can be used without a serious compromise in security.
  //   last_error: If an error or warning is returned from this method this
  //   parameter will hold the last Win32 error value.

  //   handle and PID just as if CreateProcess() had been called. The caller is
  //   responsible for closing the handles returned in this structure.
  // Returns:
  //   ALL_OK if successful. All other return values imply failure.

// This API allows the target to gain access to resources with a high
// privilege token and then when it is ready to perform dangerous activities
// (such as download content from the web) it can lower its token and
// enter into locked-down (sandbox) mode.

//   if (NULL != target_services) {
//     // We are the target.
//     target_services->Init();

//     target_services->LowerToken();
//   }
