+The

+utilities flush the file system cache to disk, send all running processes
+a SIGTERM (and subsequently a SIGKILL) and, respectively, halt or restart
+the system.
+The action is logged, including entering a shutdown record into the login
+accounting file.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl n
+If the

+option is specified,
+the file system cache is not flushed.

+.It Fl q
+If the
+.Fl q
+option is specified,
+the system is halted or restarted quickly and ungracefully, and only
+the flushing of the file system cache is performed.
+This option should probably not be used.
+.El

+utility is used when the system needs to be halted or restarted, giving
+users advance warning of their impending doom.
