Below is the appropriate Linux man page:
-------------------------
NAME
halt, reboot, poweroff - stop the system.
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/halt [-n] [-w] [-d] [-f] [-i] [-p]
/sbin/reboot [-n] [-w] [-d] [-f] [-i]
/sbin/poweroff [-n] [-w] [-d] [-f] [-i]
DESCRIPTION
Halt notes that the system is being brought down in the
file /var/log/wtmp, and then either tells the kernel to
halt, reboot or poweroff the system. If halt or reboot is
called when the system is not in runlevel 0 or 6, shut
down(8) will be invoked instead (with the flag -h or -r).
OPTIONS
-n Don't sync before reboot or halt.
-w Don't actually reboot or halt but only write the
wtmp record (in the /var/log/wtmp file).
-d Don't write the wtmp record. The -n flag implies
-d.
-f Force halt or reboot, don't call shutdown(8).
-i Shut down all network interfaces just before halt
or reboot.
-p When halting the system, do a poweroff. This is the
default when halt is called as poweroff.
