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