According to the standard (ISO C99 draft WG14/N1124),
void is the incomplete type that cannot be completed

Since it declares the absense of a value can it be considered a
data type?

No.

sizeof(void) is undefined.
You can't declare an object of type void.
You can't have an array of type void elements.
An expression of type void can neither be
the left nor right operand of the assignment operator.
