  20    <p>Most languages allow the main program to have any name.  The
  21 <code>N_MAIN</code> stab type tells the debugger the name that is used in this
  22 program.  Only the string field is significant; it is the name of
  23 a function which is the main program.  Most C compilers do not use this
  24 stab (they expect the debugger to assume that the name is <code>main</code>),
  25 but some C compilers emit an <code>N_MAIN</code> stab for the <code>main</code>
  26 function.  I'm not sure how XCOFF handles this.
