What are usage examples for NSFileProviderExtension in Swift?

It seems like the NSFileProviderExtension inherits from NSObject. The apple documentation here does not have any usage examples.

Thanks in advance.

From the docs:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/fileprovider

If your app is primarily focused on storing and managing user documents, you can implement a File Provider extension to give users access to their content while they're using other apps. Your file provider provides access to files stored on your server. The File Provider extension:

• Creates placeholders for remote files that you download only as needed.
• Intercepts coordinated reads from the host app, so that the file can be downloaded or updated from the remote server before the read occurs.
• Triggers a notification after coordinated writes from the host app, so that the extension can upload the changes to the remote server as needed.
• Enumerates the stored documents and folders.
• Executes actions—such as importing, moving, renaming, or deleting items—on the stored documents and folders.
