Program Structure 

A translation unit consists of one or more declarations and function
definitions.

Syntax 

     translation-unit ::=
        external-declaration 
        translation-unit external-declaration 

     external-declaration ::=
        function-definition 
        declaration 

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.
