RE: memory locking in squid

> in main.c look for fork().

looks like it is that:

    for (;;) {
        mainStartScript(argv[0]);
        if ((pid = fork()) == 0) {
            /* child */
            openlog(appname, LOG_PID | LOG_NDELAY | LOG_CONS, LOG_LOCAL4);
            prog = xstrdup(argv[0]);
            argv[0] = xstrdup("(squid)");
            execvp(prog, argv);
            syslog(LOG_ALERT, "execvp failed: %s", xstrerror());
        }
        /* parent */
        openlog(appname, LOG_PID | LOG_NDELAY | LOG_CONS, LOG_LOCAL4);
        syslog(LOG_NOTICE, "Squid Parent: child process %d started", pid);
        time(&start);

it forks and child process reexecutes squid but with "(squid)" argv[0]
set. so where this child process (the same executable) know it should
behave as master or worker process??
i can't find that
