Modifier to the -h flag. Halt action is to halt or drop into boot
monitor on systems that support it. Must be used with the -h flag.
Halting is often used to run through the shutdown process and leave
output on the screen for debugging purposes. Or when the user wants the OS to

use the -P modifier instead.
