[squid-users] Handlers in squid

Hi List,

        How can we identify the difference between the handlers and function calls in a squid program?

My Understanding is that

        When a function call occurs in a program then it will put the current status in the stack and start excecuting that function. Once it return then it will continue from the address in the stack.

In the case of handler, program calling the handler will continue after making the call and that handler will also continue.Once the the handler is done with his work it will interrupt the called program.

In squid maximum things are carried out using the handler, that is why the question?

Hope some one to correct and educate me.

-Mani
