As others have said it is implementation-defined. The most popular
choice seems to be

void main(void);

since there are no startup parameters and freestanding programs normally
don't exit.


My experience is that you call it whatever you wish, and have some
platform-specific way of getting control transferred there.

If you call it main() the compiler can complain if you declare it wrong,
and folks here will do the same.
