You don't have a main() function. This is the function that gets called
when you run an executable. Looking at your code, it seems like you want
to produce a library rather than a standalone program.
This might help: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html
Also, read the section on C-language functions in the manuals.
Also, you're clearly missing bound-checking on your various copy
operations, and I think you're supposed to use palloc() rather than
malloc() if this is supposed to sit inside PostgreSQL.
Bear in mind it's been 10 years since I wrote any C though, so use your
own judgement on my advice.
