Query on start function with dump_syms result

Hi All,
I was just comparing with the stack trace generated by Apple crash report with the dwarfdump output.  It contains start and _start functions after the main function in the stack trace.Below I have given the snippet of the trace.


12  com.Test.Termite                     0x00001f96 main + 24 (main.m:14)
13  com.Test.Termite                     0x00001f62 _start + 216
14  com.Test.Termite                     0x00001e89 start + 41


Using dwarfdump --all output I couldn't locate this function in the output. Could you please explain me about this start and _start function what is it about ? Is it like entry point of the code ?

Thanks in advance
Arnab
