Question

Is there a C++ function to turn off the computer? And since I doubt there is one (in the standard library, at least), what\'s the windows function that I can call from C++?

Answer 1

You can shutdown by utilizing the system() function.

for Windows

system("shutdown -s");

for Linux

system("poweroff");

or

system("init 0");
