72///
73/// The EFI_SERVICE_BINDING_PROTOCOL provides member functions to create and destroy
74/// child handles. A driver is responsible for adding protocols to the child handle
75/// in CreateChild() and removing protocols in DestroyChild(). It is also required
76/// that the CreateChild() function opens the parent protocol BY_CHILD_CONTROLLER
77/// to establish the parent-child relationship, and closes the protocol in DestroyChild().
78/// The pseudo code for CreateChild() and DestroyChild() is provided to specify the
79/// required behavior, not to specify the required implementation. Each consumer of
80/// a software protocol is responsible for calling CreateChild() when it requires the
81/// protocol and calling DestroyChild() when it is finished with that protocol.
