# Initialize the minimal runtime for Mu programs.
#
# See translate_mu for how this file is used.
#
# Mu programs start at a function called 'main' with this signature:
#   fn main args: (addr array (addr array byte)) -> exit-status/ebx: int
# If your program doesn't need commandline arguments you can drop it:
#   fn main -> exit-status/ebx: int
#
# Notice that the output must be in ebx, so that the exit() syscall can pick
# it up.
