+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para><filename>systemd-halt.service</filename> is a system
+    service that is pulled in by <filename>halt.target</filename> and
+    is responsible for the actual system halt. Similarly,
+    <filename>systemd-poweroff.service</filename> is pulled in by
+    <filename>poweroff.target</filename>,
+    <filename>systemd-reboot.service</filename> by
+    <filename>reboot.target</filename> and
+    <filename>systemd-kexec.service</filename> by
+    <filename>kexec.target</filename> to execute the respective
+    actions.</para>
+
+    <para>When these services are run, they ensure that PID 1 is
+    replaced by the
+    <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-shutdown</filename> tool which
+    is then responsible for the actual shutdown. Before shutting down,
+    this binary will try to unmount all remaining file systems,
+    disable all remaining swap devices, detach all remaining storage
+    devices and kill all remaining processes.</para>
+
+    <para>It is necessary to have this code in a separate binary
+    because otherwise rebooting after an upgrade might be broken — the
+    running PID 1 could still depend on libraries which are not
+    available any more, thus keeping the file system busy, which then
+    cannot be re-mounted read-only.</para>
+
+    <para>Immediately before executing the actual system
+    halt/poweroff/reboot/kexec <filename>systemd-shutdown</filename>
+    will run all executables in
+    <filename>/usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown/</filename> and pass
+    one arguments to them: either <literal>halt</literal>,
+    <literal>poweroff</literal>, <literal>reboot</literal> or
+    <literal>kexec</literal>, depending on the chosen action. All
+    executables in this directory are executed in parallel, and
+    execution of the action is not continued before all executables
+    finished.</para>
+
+    <para>Note that <filename>systemd-halt.service</filename> (and the
+    related units) should never be executed directly. Instead, trigger
+    system shutdown with a command such as <literal>systemctl
+    halt</literal> or suchlike.</para>
