I have used the listings package for including a program into a LaTeX document. But the program splits into two when a page is finished. I want to make the listing behaved like an image, so that it will not split and the whole program stays on the same page.

Code I used is:

\lstinputlisting[caption={Hello},label={pgm1}]{main.c}

You can pass the float option to \lstinputlisting to make it float:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{basicstyle=\footnotesize\ttfamily}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\lstinputlisting[caption={Hello}, float]{main.c}
\end{document}

enter image description here

There's also this question and its answers which have solutions for avoiding page breaks that don't rely on floats.
