Functions

Functions

main

int main(int argc, char **argv)

Initializes x2c and dispatches one command from argv. argv[0] locates the installation. The process status is zero for a successful translation, build, or bootstrap, one for compiler or tool failure, and the executed program’s status for run. Help and version exit with zero, while invalid CLI and preflight input exit with status two.

Design notes

Initializes the process and drives preprocessing, parsing, transformation, and output generation from one typed CLI request.
