+The `main` function was incorrectly declared.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0580
+fn main() -> i32 { // error: main function has wrong type
+    0
+}
+```
+
+The `main` function prototype should never take arguments or return type.
+Example:
+
+```
+fn main() {
+    // your code
+}
+```
+
+If you want to get command-line arguments, use `std::env::args`. To exit with a
+specified exit code, use `std::process::exit`.
