Please take these questions to comp.lang.c.  This isn't the group for it.
Or better yet, try to find someone locally who can answer your questions.

You've just declared main as a function that returns struct record.  Put
a semicolon after the curly brace.  You're trashing the stack which causes
the seg fault when you return from main.  By calling exit you avoid
returning from main with a trashed stack.
