<listitem><para>Force immediate halt, power-off, or reboot. When
specified once, this results in an immediate but clean shutdown
by the system manager. When specified twice, this results in an
immediate shutdown without contacting the system manager. See the
description of <option>--force</option> in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemctl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more details.</para></listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Force immediate halt, power-off, reboot. If specified, the command does not contact the init
system. In most cases, filesystems are not properly unmounted before shutdown. For example, the
command <command>reboot -f</command> is mostly equivalent to <command>systemctl reboot -ff</command>,
instead of <command>systemctl reboot -f</command>.</para>
