.SH "DESCRIPTION"
\fBhalt\fR/\fBreboot\fR/\fBpoweroff\fR/\fBshutdown\fR is a (mostly)
sysvinit\-compatible binary\. It tells init(8)/openrc\-shutdown(8) to
bring down, reboot, or power off the system\. Without \fB\-f\fR, it is
a shortcut to \fBinit 0\fR/\fBinit 6\fR (runit) or \fBopenrc\-shutdown\fR
(openrc)\.
.
.TP
\fB\-n\fR
Don\'t sync before reboot or halt\. Note that the kernel and storage
drivers may still sync\.
.
.TP
\fB\-f\fR
Force halt or reboot, don\'t call init(8)\. This is \fBdangerous\fR!
.
.TP
\fB\-d\fR
Do not write to the wtmp record\.
.
.TP
\fB\-w\fR
Do not stop the system but write to the wtmp record\.
.
.SH "NOTES"
This program tries to be as sysvinit\-compatible as possible, but due to
limitations by the init system, some functions may not be available yet\.
.
.P
Currently, the \fBshutdown\fR program behaves like the \fBpoweroff\fR
program\.
.
.P
Options \fB\-h\fR and \fB\-i\fR are fully ignored\.
.
.P
When you are using runit(8), the options \fB\-d\fR and \fB\-w\fR are
ignored\.
