37.Xr halt 8
38commands,
39or when
40.Xr init 8
41is signalled to do so,
42or when a keyboard-requested halt is issued (if the architecture supports it),
43.Xr rc 8
44is invoked with the argument

46This document details the actions taken by
47.Xr rc 8
48in such an instance.

50Firstly it saves random data for reseeding the kernel random number
51generator during the next boot.
52It then stops any daemons
53defined in the
54.Va pkg_scripts
55variable in
56.Xr rc.conf.local 8 ,
57by passing them the
58.Cm stop
59argument.

68.Xr carp 4
69interfaces are brought down and then the system shuts down.
70.Pp
