 **Note:** If the second instance is started by a different user than the first, the `argv` array will not include the arguments.
 
+**Note:** `ackCallback` allows the user to send data back to the
+second instance during the `app.requestSingleInstanceLock()` flow.
+This callback can be used for cases where the second instance
+needs to obtain additional information from the first instance
+before quitting.
+
+Currently, the limit on the message size is kMaxMessageLength,
+or around 32kB. To be safe, keep the amount of data passed to 31kB at most.
+
+In order to call the callback, `event.preventDefault()` must be called, first.
+If the callback is not called in either case, `null` will be sent back.
+If `event.preventDefault()` is not called, but `ackCallback` is called
+by the user in the event, then the behaviour is undefined.
+
 This event is guaranteed to be emitted after the `ready` event of `app`
 gets emitted.
 
 **Note:** Extra command line arguments might be added by Chromium,
 such as `--original-process-start-time`.
