.Dt REBOOT 2
|
|
.Os BSD 4
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm reboot
|
|
.Nd reboot system or halt processor
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <unistd.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/reboot.h>
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn reboot "int howto"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Fn Reboot
|
|
reboots the system.
|
|
Only the super-user may reboot a machine on demand.
|
|
However, a reboot is invoked
|
|
automatically in the event of unrecoverable system failures.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fa Howto
|
|
is a mask of options; the system call interface allows the following
|
|
options, defined in the include file
|
|
.Aq Pa sys/reboot.h ,
|
|
to be passed
|
|
to the new kernel or the new bootstrap and init programs.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width RB_INITNAMEA
|
|
.It Dv RB_AUTOBOOT
|
|
The default, causing the system to reboot in its usual fashion.
|
|
.It Dv RB_ASKNAME
|
|
Interpreted by the bootstrap program itself, causing it to
|
|
prompt on the console as to what file should be booted.
|
|
Normally, the system is booted from the file
|
|
.Dq Em xx Ns No (0,0)kernel ,
|
|
where
|
|
.Em xx
|
|
is the default disk name,
|
|
without prompting for the file name.
|
|
.It Dv RB_DFLTROOT
|
|
Use the compiled in root device.
|
|
Normally, the system uses the device from which it was booted
|
|
as the root device if possible.
|
|
(The default behavior is dependent on the ability of the bootstrap program
|
|
to determine the drive from which it was loaded, which is not possible
|
|
on all systems.)
|
|
.It Dv RB_DUMP
|
|
Dump kernel memory before rebooting; see
|
|
.Xr savecore 8
|
|
for more information.
|
|
.It Dv RB_HALT
|
|
the processor is simply halted; no reboot takes place.
|
|
This option should be used with caution.
|
|
.It Dv RB_POWEROFF
|
|
After halting, the shutdown code will do what it can to turn
|
|
of the power. This requires hardware support.
|
|
.It Dv RB_INITNAME
|
|
An option allowing the specification of an init program (see
|
|
.Xr init 8 )
|
|
other than
|
|
.Pa /sbin/init
|
|
to be run when the system reboots.
|
|
This switch is not currently available.
|
|
.It Dv RB_KDB
|
|
Load the symbol table and enable a built-in debugger in the system.
|
|
This option will have no useful function if the kernel is not configured
|
|
for debugging.
|
|
Several other options have different meaning if combined
|
|
with this option, although their use may not be possible
|
|
via the
|
|
.Fn reboot
|
|
call.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr kadb 4
|
|
for more information.
|
|
.It Dv RB_NOSYNC
|
|
Normally, the disks are sync'd (see
|
|
.Xr sync 8 )
|
|
before the processor is halted or rebooted.
|
|
This option may be useful if file system changes have been made manually
|
|
or if the processor is on fire.
|
|
.It Dv RB_RDONLY
|
|
Initially mount the root file system read-only.
|
|
This is currently the default, and this option has been deprecated.
|
|
.It Dv RB_SINGLE
|
|
Normally, the reboot procedure involves an automatic disk consistency
|
|
check and then multi-user operations.
|
|
.Dv RB_SINGLE
|
|
prevents this, booting the system with a single-user shell
|
|
on the console.
|
|
.Dv RB_SINGLE
|
|
is actually interpreted by the
|
|
.Xr init 8
|
|
program in the newly booted system.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When no options are given (i.e.,
|
|
.Dv RB_AUTOBOOT
|
|
is used), the system is
|
|
rebooted from file ``kernel'' in the root file system of unit 0
|
|
of a disk chosen in a processor specific way.
|
|
An automatic consistency check of the disks is normally performed
|
|
(see
|
|
.Xr fsck 8 ) .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If successful, this call never returns.
|
|
Otherwise, a -1 is returned and an error is returned in the global
|
|
variable
|
|
.Va errno .
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EPERM
|
|
The caller is not the super-user.
