Avoiding the main (entry point) in a C program

Is it possible to avoid the entry point (main) in a C program. In the below code, is it possible to invoke the func() call without calling via main() in the below program ? If Yes, how to do it and when would it be required and why is such a provision given ?

int func(void)
{
     printf("This is func \n");
     return 0;
}

int main(void)
{
     printf("This is main \n");
     return 0;
}
