I am guessing that Windows have a standard concept of a "service" and
there is an interface for setting and getting the service name (and
possibly for other "service operations").

On Unix, a lot of things may be called services, and "service" term use
in interfaces such as ICAP and System V init scripts is standard, but I
cannot think of any formal Unix interface that matches what Squid is
doing with -n on Unix. We define -n as "service name to use for service
operations", but I do not know what those "service operations" are in a
Unix context. If most admins know what that means, there is no problem.

Hope this clarifies,

Alex.
