Any program starts as:

Not on my watch, it doesn't. For one thing, unnecessary parentheses
should be eschewed. More importantly, most of the programs I write
nowadays make heavy use of libraries that I wrote some time ago, so
there's a case for saying that main() is how the program ends, rather
than how it starts.
So the second version is:
#include <lib1.h>
#include <lib2.h>
#include <lib3.h>
int main(void){
lib1_init();
lib2_init();
lib3_init();
return(0); // I like parentheses! ;-)
}
