From libref.doc in emx\doc, it states:

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

    This is the function called by the startup code to run your
    program.  It is not a library function.  ARGC is the number of
    command line arguments, including the program name.  ARGV points
    to an array of pointers to the command line arguments.  ENVP
    points to an array of pointers to the environment strings.  The
    last entry of each array is a NULL pointer.  main() should always
    return a value.  If main() returns, exit() is called using the
    return value of main() as argument.  If main() ends without return
    statement and without calling exit(), the return code of the
    program is undefined.  This should be avoided.  After changing the
    environment with putenv(), you should use the environ global
    variable instead of the ENVP argument of main().

  Return value:

    The return value of main() will be the return code of the process.

you can have void main() and the compiler will give a warning but you can
ignore it (if you really want to).
