<title>Notes</title>
<para>These commands are implemented in a way that preserves basic compatibility with the original SysV
commands. <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
verbs <command>halt</command>, <command>poweroff</command>, <command>reboot</command> provide the same
functionality with some additional features.</para>
<para>Note that on many SysV systems <command>halt</command> used to be synonymous to
<command>poweroff</command>, i.e. both commands would equally result in powering the machine off. systemd
is more accurate here, and <command>halt</command> results in halting the machine only (leaving power
on), and <command>poweroff</command> is required to actually power it off.</para>
