hello guys...can we overload the main()??

void main( void )
int main( void )
void main( int argc )
int main( int argc )
void main( int argc, char *argv[] )
int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
void main( int argc, char *argv[], char *env[] )
int main( int argc, char *argv[], char *env[] )

main always should have a return type of int.

int main()

}

void main()
{
}

What's returned to the OS?
