Do a "squid -h" and you'll get the arguments you're looking for (view
this msg in a fixed width font or it'll look pretty awful):

Usage: squid [-dhsvzCDFNRVYX] [-f config-file] [-[au] port] [-k signal]
        -a port Specify HTTP port number (default: 3128).
        -d level Write debugging to stderr also.
        -f file Use given config-file instead of
                  /usr/local/squid/etc/squid.conf
        -h Print help message.
        -k reconfigure|rotate|shutdown|interrupt|kill|debug|check|parse
                  Parse configuration file, then send signal to
                  running copy (except -k parse) and exit.
        -s Enable logging to syslog.
        -u port Specify ICP port number (default: 3130), disable with 0.
        -v Print version.
        -z Create swap directories
        -C Do not catch fatal signals.
        -D Disable initial DNS tests.
        -F Foreground fast store rebuild.
        -N No daemon mode.
        -R Do not set REUSEADDR on port.
        -V Virtual host httpd-accelerator.
        -X Force full debugging.
        -Y Only return UDP_HIT or UDP_MISS_NOFETCH during fast reload.
