In C functions are distinguished by names not including parameters.

In some other computer languages, functions are resolved including 
parameters. 

Both approaches can work well.

The function main() is just an entry point in C.

Nowadays event and message driven programs that behave like those using the IRQ and BIOS services in the HW and OS  are very common in  applications.

But I have to say the application part is different from the services in the  
design.  

The OS part requires more disciplines in programming.
