-  // Windows the command is first searched for in the parent executable's
-  // directory and if found then that's what should end up in child's argv[0].
-  // So this is the recall path. It is called recall because this is what the
-  // caller of the parent process will be able to execute if you printed the
-  // command line (provided you haven't changed the CWD). Finally, effective
-  // is the absolute path to the executable that will include the directory
-  // part if found in PATH, the .exe extension if one is missing, etc.
-  //
-  // As an example, let's say we run foo\foo.exe that itself spawns bar which
-  // is found as foo\bar.exe. The paths will then be:
-  //
-  // initial:   bar
-  // recall:    foo\bar
