kamailio -h
gives some short explanation.
When fork=no, no sip workers are created, tcp not working, if no listen
is set, it binds only to first network interface (can be loopback). This
is like -D.
-DD is main process is not daemonizing itself, so stays attached to the
terminal (so can be killed with CTR+C) but the rest of processed (sip
workers, timers) are forked like normal.
-DDD is like fork=yes, the main process being optimized as well.
For proper debugging and also staying attached to terminal, the -DD and
children=1 is the best combination.
Cheers,
Daniel

Hello,
wondering if anyone is using fork=no -- some old docs suggest it is
suitable for debugging, but actually kamailio doesn't work properly in
this mode, leading to more troubles than benefits (e.g., having reports
of invalid issues, like tcp not working in this mode).
In first phase I would disable setting this value, with a warning if set
to no, because most of the configs out there have fork=yes. Removing it
could be considered in the future.
Note that this fork=no is different than don't daemonize controlled with
-D, which will stay being useful for some init.d systems.
What is the difference?
I have been using fork=no a lot in test scripts, but could possibly move to
-D. Having a config file parameter is easier though, said the lazy man.
