# MessageChannelMain
|
|
|
|
`MessageChannelMain` is the main-process-side equivalent of the DOM
|
|
[`MessageChannel`][] object. Its singular function is to create a pair of
|
|
connected [`MessagePortMain`](message-port-main.md) objects.
|
|
|
|
See the [Channel Messaging API][] documentation for more information on using
|
|
channel messaging.

w.webContents.postMessage('port', null, [port2])
