The executable itself doesn't contain any privileged information.
An example of where this is useful is when makefs(8) is creating an image
that includes /sbin/shutdown. This can now be done without root privileges.

The index() and rindex() functions were marked LEGACY in the 2001
revision of POSIX and were subsequently removed from the 2008 revision.
The strchr() and strrchr() functions are part of the C standard.
This makes the source code a lot more consistent, as most of these C
files also call into other str*() routines. In fact, about a dozen
already perform strchr() calls.
These tools declare global variables without using the static keyword,
even though their use is limited to a single C-file, or without placing
an extern declaration of them in the proper header file.
It is implemented as a hard link to shutdown(8) and it is equivalent of:
# shutdown -p now
While I'm here put one line of usage into one line of C code so it is easier to
grep(1) and separate unrelated code with empty line.

Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.

running /etc/rc.shutdown by init(8).

- Make the -k "don't actually halt" flag incompatible with
the halt/reboot options -h, -p, and -r.
- The -n "don't sync" option is ignored if -k is specified.
Issue a warning message.
- Compute the actual shutdown time written to /var/run/nologin
correctly in the case of "now" being specified.

The only essential change is in paths.h, so any third-party software
written correctly will pick it up in the next rebuild.
