+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<aa-reboot>(1) is a simple wrapper around a B<reboot>(2) call.
+
+You should never trigger it manually/directly. Instead, use B<aa-shutdown>(1),
+that will send the appropriate commands to B<s6-svscan> (PID 1) in order to
+properly shut down the system, before (probably) ending with a call to
+B<aa-reboot>(1) at the end of stage 4.
