The exact action to be taken is determined by the flags passed in .Fa howto and by whether or not the system has finished autoconfiguration. .Pp If the system has finished autoconfiguration, .Fn boot does the following: .Bl -enum -offset indent .It Sets the .Va boothowto system variable from the .Fa howto argument. .It If this is the first invocation of .Fn boot and the .Dv RB_NOSYNC flag is not set in .Fa howto , syncs and unmounts the system disks by calling .Xr vfs_shutdown 9 and sets the time of day clock by calling .Xr resettodr 9 . .It Disables interrupts. .It If rebooting after a crash (i.e. if .Dv RB_DUMP is set in .Fa howto , but .Dv RB_HALT is not), saves a system crash dump. .It Runs any shutdown hooks by calling .Xr doshutdownhooks 9 . .It Prints a message indicating that the system is about to be halted or rebooted. .It If .Dv RB_HALT is set in .Fa howto , halts the system. Otherwise, reboots the system. .El .Pp If the system has not finished autoconfiguration, .Fn boot runs any shutdown hooks by calling .Xr doshutdownhooks 9 , prints a message, and halts the system. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr doshutdownhooks 9 , .Xr resettodr 9 , .Xr vfs_shutdown 9
