STRUCTURE
A SALT script has the following format:
<global_variable_definition>
...
<global_variable_definition>
<function_definition>
<global_variable_definition>
...
<global_variable_definition>
<Function_definitions>
...
and so on. Basically a script file consists of definition of global
variables (variables which are available to any part of the script
file after which they are defined, and function definitions
(functions are lines of code clustered together in a group, so that
they can be called by a name). A script file does not have to have
any global variables or functions, but to run it must at least have
one function called 'main'. The following, for example, is a com-
plete script file:
main()
{
prints ("hello");
}
When compiled and run, this script would print the string "hello" to
the screen.
