reboot(3BSD)         (BSD System Compatibility)         reboot(3BSD)


       NAME
             reboot - reboot system or halt processor

       SYNOPSIS
             /usr/ucb/cc [flag . . . ] file . . .
             #include <sys/reboot.h>
             reboot(int howto, [char *bootargs]);

       DESCRIPTION
             reboot reboots the system, and is invoked automatically in the
             event of unrecoverable system failures.  howto is a mask of
             options passed to the bootstrap program.  The system call
             interface permits only RB_HALT or RB_AUTOBOOT to be passed to
             the reboot program; the other flags are used in scripts stored
             on the console storage media, or used in manual bootstrap
             procedures.  When none of these options (for instance
             RB_AUTOBOOT) is given, the system is rebooted from file
             /stand/unix.  An automatic consistency check of the disks is
             then normally performed.

             The bits of howto that are used are:

             RB_HALT        the processor is simply halted; no reboot takes
                            place.  RB_HALT should be used with caution.

             RB_ASKNAME     Interpreted by the bootstrap program itself,
                            causing it to inquire as to what file should be
                            booted.  Normally, the system is booted from
                            the file /stand/unix without asking.

       RETURN VALUE
             If successful, this call never returns.  Otherwise, a -1 is
             returned and an error is returned in the global variable
             errno.

       ERRORS
             EPERM          The caller is not the super-user.

       FILES
             /stand/unix

      NOTICES
            Any other howto argument causes /stand/unix to boot.

            Only the super-user may reboot a machine.
