<title>Description</title>
<para><command>poweroff</command>, <command>reboot</command>, and <command>halt</command> may be used to
power off, reboot, or halt the machine. All three commands take the same options.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Options</title>
<para>The following options are understood:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--help</option></term>
<xi:include href="standard-options.xml" xpointer="help-text" />
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--halt</option></term>
<listitem><para>Halt the machine, regardless of which one of
the three commands is invoked.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-p</option></term>
<term><option>--poweroff</option></term>
<listitem><para>Power off the machine, when either <command>halt</command>
or <command>poweroff</command> is invoked. This option is ignored when
<command>reboot</command> is invoked.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--reboot</option></term>
<listitem><para>Reboot the machine, regardless of which one of
the three commands is invoked.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-f</option></term>
<term><option>--force</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>Force immediate power-off, halt, or reboot. If specified, the command does not contact the
init system. In most cases, filesystems are not properly unmounted before shutdown. For example,
the command <command>reboot -f</command> is mostly equivalent to
<command>systemctl reboot -ff</command>, instead of <command>systemctl reboot -f</command>.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-w</option></term>
<term><option>--wtmp-only</option></term>
<listitem><para>Only write wtmp shutdown entry, do not actually power off, reboot, or halt.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-d</option></term>
<term><option>--no-wtmp</option></term>
<listitem><para>Do not write wtmp shutdown entry.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>-n</option></term>
<term><option>--no-sync</option></term>
<listitem><para>Don't sync hard disks/storage media before power-off, reboot, or halt.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--no-wall</option></term>
<listitem><para>Do not send wall message before power-off, reboot, or halt.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>

<title>Exit status</title>
<para>On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Notes</title>
<para>These commands are implemented in a way that preserves basic compatibility with the original SysV
commands. <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
verbs <command>poweroff</command>, <command>reboot</command>, <command>halt</command> provide the same
functionality with some additional features.</para>
<para>Note that on many SysV systems <command>halt</command> used to be synonymous to
<command>poweroff</command>, i.e. both commands would equally result in powering the machine off. systemd
is more accurate here, and <command>halt</command> results in halting the machine only (leaving power
on), and <command>poweroff</command> is required to actually power it off.</para>
