Meaning of notice "using inherited sockets"

Server NGINX
1

Can anyone confirm whether or not the below is cause for concern?

2012/01/09 13:21:13 [notice] 364#0: using inherited sockets from
“/opt/nginx/ sbin/nginx”
2012/01/09 13:21:13 [notice] 470#0: using inherited sockets from
“/opt/nginx/ sbin/nginx”

Ideally could someone point me to documentation for Nginx
warnings/notices.

Notices are normal (notification) messages.

2012/01/09 13:21:13 [notice] 364#0: using inherited sockets from
“/opt/nginx/ sbin/nginx”
2012/01/09 13:21:13 [notice] 470#0: using inherited sockets from
“/opt/nginx/ sbin/nginx”

In this case, an nginx binary is being replaced, as per
http://nginx.org/en/docs/control.html#upgrade
and a new binary gains control over listening sockets of the
old binary.

Such documentation is planned to appear soon as part of our efforts on
making the documentation complete.
