man 2 reboot

...

int reboot(int magic, int magic2, int cmd, void *arg);

...

I want to pass "void *arg" to secure firmware.

the "const char *cmd", usually this is the "abc" if user type "reboot abc"
under shell.

For example, android usually type "reboot recovery", the "recovery" will be
passed to next boot kernel boot args.
