+# 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: (address array kernel-string) -> 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.
