The renderer process can handle the message by listening to `channel` with the
[`ipcRenderer`](ipc-renderer.md) module.
Sending non-standard JavaScript types such as DOM objects or
special Electron objects will throw an exception.
An example of sending messages from the main process to the renderer process:

let win = null

win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 })
