[ECOS] Is main a thread

[Robert Brusa <bob dot brusa at gmail dot com>]

Hi
the function main has a somewhat special role, but little can be found  
about it in eCOSs documentation. I found the statement, that some  
libraries are initialized when main is called. Further: I have written  
small test-apps for my modules and normally these apps do not include a  
main, but only one (or several) threads. Then I built an app that included  
a main only, but no threads. Both approaches work, but can I do everything  
that is allowed in threads also in main? Or in other words:

1) Is main just a thread or is it kind of the idle task of eCOS?
2) Where are its stack-resource assigned and how much.

Thanks for your help
   Robert
