Main function: A main () function in a 'C' programming language or in general calls all the other functions, which are part of the program, basically it controls the program. And the Functions within the source program perform one or more specific tasks. The main function can call these functions to perform their respective tasks. When main calls another function, it passes execution control to the function, so that execution begins at the first statement in the function. A function returns control to main when a return statement is executed or when the end of the function is reached.

The main function is not stored in any specific location it is stored as any other normal function . The c run time system inserts some start up code before ur main function and inserts some clean up code at the end of the program . The operating system loads the executable of ur program in to the memory with the help of the loader and transfers the control to ur program .
