Description
A C program consists of one or more translation units, each of which can be compiled
separately. A translation unit consists of a source file together with any headers and source
files included by the #include preprocessing directive. Each time the compiler is invoked, it
reads a single translation unit and typically produces a relocatable object file. A translation
unit must contain at least one declaration or function definition.
