36 | .Os BSD 4 | |
37 | .Sh NAME | |
38 | .Nm reboot | |
39 | .Nd reboot system or halt processor | |
40 | .Sh SYNOPSIS | |
41 | .Fd #include <unistd.h> | |
42 | .Fd #include <sys/reboot.h> | |
43 | .Ft int | |
44 | .Fn reboot "int howto" | |
45 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
46 | .Fn Reboot | |
47 | reboots the system. | |
48 | Only the super-user may reboot a machine on demand. | |
49 | However, a reboot is invoked | |
50 | automatically in the event of unrecoverable system failures. | |
51 | .Pp | |
52 | .Fa Howto | |
53 | is a mask of options; the system call interface allows the following | |
54 | options, defined in the include file | |
55 | .Aq Pa sys/reboot.h , | |
56 | to be passed | |
57 | to the new kernel or the new bootstrap and init programs. | |
58 | .Bl -tag -width RB_INITNAMEA | |
59 | .It Dv RB_AUTOBOOT | |
60 | The default, causing the system to reboot in its usual fashion. | |
61 | .It Dv RB_ASKNAME | |
62 | Interpreted by the bootstrap program itself, causing it to | |
63 | prompt on the console as to what file should be booted. | |
64 | Normally, the system is booted from the file | |
78ed81a3 | 65 | .Dq Em xx Ns No (0,0)386bsd , |
15637ed4 RG |
66 | where |
67 | .Em xx | |
68 | is the default disk name, | |
69 | without prompting for the file name. | |
70 | .It Dv RB_DFLTROOT | |
71 | Use the compiled in root device. | |
72 | Normally, the system uses the device from which it was booted | |
73 | as the root device if possible. | |
74 | (The default behavior is dependent on the ability of the bootstrap program | |
75 | to determine the drive from which it was loaded, which is not possible | |
76 | on all systems.) | |
77 | .It Dv RB_DUMP | |
78 | Dump kernel memory before rebooting; see | |
79 | .Xr savecore 8 | |
80 | for more information. | |
81 | .It Dv RB_HALT | |
82 | the processor is simply halted; no reboot takes place. | |
83 | This option should be used with caution. | |
84 | .It Dv RB_INITNAME | |
85 | An option allowing the specification of an init program (see | |
86 | .Xr init 8 ) | |
87 | other than | |
88 | .Pa /sbin/init | |
89 | to be run when the system reboots. | |
90 | This switch is not currently available. | |
91 | .It Dv RB_KDB | |
92 | Load the symbol table and enable a built-in debugger in the system. | |
93 | This option will have no useful function if the kernel is not configured | |
94 | for debugging. | |
95 | Several other options have different meaning if combined | |
96 | with this option, although their use may not be possible | |
97 | via the | |
98 | .Fn reboot | |
99 | call. | |
100 | See | |
101 | .Xr kadb 4 | |
102 | for more information. | |
103 | .It Dv RB_NOSYNC | |
104 | Normally, the disks are sync'd (see | |
105 | .Xr sync 8 ) | |
106 | before the processor is halted or rebooted. | |
107 | This option may be useful if file system changes have been made manually | |
108 | or if the processor is on fire. | |
109 | .It Dv RB_RDONLY | |
110 | Initially mount the root file system read-only. | |
111 | This is currently the default, and this option has been deprecated. | |
112 | .It Dv RB_SINGLE | |
113 | Normally, the reboot procedure involves an automatic disk consistency | |
114 | check and then multi-user operations. | |
115 | .Dv RB_SINGLE | |
116 | prevents this, booting the system with a single-user shell | |
117 | on the console. | |
118 | .Dv RB_SINGLE | |
119 | is actually interpreted by the | |
120 | .Xr init 8 | |
121 | program in the newly booted system. | |
122 | .Pp | |
123 | When no options are given (i.e., | |
124 | .Dv RB_AUTOBOOT | |
125 | is used), the system is | |
78ed81a3 | 126 | rebooted from file ``386bsd'' in the root file system of unit 0 |
15637ed4 RG |
127 | of a disk chosen in a processor specific way. |
128 | An automatic consistency check of the disks is normally performed | |
129 | (see | |
130 | .Xr fsck 8 ) . | |
131 | .El | |
132 | .Sh RETURN VALUES | |
133 | If successful, this call never returns. | |
134 | Otherwise, a -1 is returned and an error is returned in the global | |
135 | variable | |
136 | .Va errno . | |
137 | .Sh ERRORS | |
138 | .Bl -tag -width Er | |
139 | .It Bq Er EPERM | |
140 | The caller is not the super-user. | |
