Listens to `channel`, when a new message arrives `listener` would be called with Listens to `channel`, when a new message arrives `listener` would be called with
`listener(event, args...)`. `listener(event, args...)`.
:::warning
Do not expose the `event` argument to the renderer for security reasons! Wrap any
callback that you receive from the renderer in another function like this:
`ipcRenderer.on('my-channel', (event, ...args) => callback(...args))`.
Not wrapping the callback in such a function would expose dangerous Electron APIs
to the renderer process. See the

for more info.
