- <h3>Name</h3>
- halt - halt system
- <h3>Synopsis</h3>
- /sbin/halt
- <h3>Description</h3>
- halt shuts the system down. A clean shutdown is performed, flushing
- buffers to disk, unmounting filesystems, and so forth.
- <p>
- Once shutdown is complete, halt stops execution of the operating
- system. What this entails depends on the platform. On platforms with a
- hardware boot monitor, it normally returns to the boot monitor. On
- software-based platforms, such as System/161, it normally terminates
- the software simulation. On other platforms the system will generally
- wait for a keystroke on the console and then reboot.
- <p>
- <h3>Requirements</h3>
- halt uses the <A HREF=../syscall/reboot.html>reboot</A> system call.
- <p>
- halt will function properly even before you do any work on OS/161.
