Abderrahim Kitouni ec07c3c80b man: add version info
This tries to add information about when each option was added. It goes
back to version 183.

The version info is included from a separate file to allow generating it,
which would allow more control on the formatting of the final output.

<title>Description</title>
<para><command>poweroff</command>, <command>reboot</command>, and <command>halt</command> may be used to
power off, reboot, or halt the machine. All three commands take the same options.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Options</title>
<para>The following options are understood:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>

<listitem><para>Power off the machine, when either <command>halt</command>
or <command>poweroff</command> is invoked. This option is ignored when
<command>reboot</command> is invoked.</para>

<term><option>-f</option></term>
<term><option>--force</option></term>
<listitem>
<para>Force immediate power-off, halt, or 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>.

<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>poweroff</command>, <command>reboot</command>, <command>halt</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>
