# BENetworkingProcess

An object that represents a networking extension process.

```
@interface BENetworkingProcess : NSObject
```

## Overview

A browser app can have one or more networking extensions, each of which need a separate bundle identifier. The app can launch only one instance of each networking extension.

## Topics

### Creating and invalidating extension processes

[`+  networkProcessWithBundleID:interruptionHandler:completion:`](/documentation/BrowserEngineKit/BENetworkingProcess/networkProcessWithBundleID:interruptionHandler:completion:)

Launches a networking extension process asynchronously.

[`+  networkProcessWithInterruptionHandler:completion:`](/documentation/BrowserEngineKit/BENetworkingProcess/networkProcessWithInterruptionHandler:completion:)

Launches a networking extension process asynchronously.

[`-  invalidate`](/documentation/BrowserEngineKit/BENetworkingProcess/invalidate)

Stops the networking process.

### Creating XPC connections

[`-  makeLibXPCConnectionError:`](/documentation/BrowserEngineKit/BENetworkingProcess/makeLibXPCConnectionError:)

Creates a new XPC connection to the extension process.

### Coordinating processes

[`-  grantCapability:error:`](/documentation/BrowserEngineKit/BENetworkingProcess/grantCapability:error:)

Grants the specified capability to the process.

[`-  grantCapability:error:invalidationHandler:`](/documentation/BrowserEngineKit/BENetworkingProcess/grantCapability:error:invalidationHandler:)

Grants the specified capability to the process and observes an invalidation closure.
