It is an API of Windows called ExitWindowsEx, containing these calls:

internal const int EWX_LOGOFF = 0x00000000;
internal const int EWX_SHUTDOWN = 0x00000001;
internal const int EWX_REBOOT = 0x00000002;
internal const int EWX_FORCE = 0x00000004;
internal const int EWX_POWEROFF = 0x00000008;
internal const int EWX_FORCEIFHUNG = 0x00000010;

and sourced from Shell32.dll.

The process can be called at the comand line by using shutdown.exe.
[tt]
SHUTDOWN [options] [-m [\\ComputerName]]

options
-M \\Computer : A remote computer to shutdown.
-L : logoff current user

-c "Msg" : An optional shutdown message
-S : Shutdown
-R : Shutdown and reboot
-A : Abort a system shutdown during the timeout period.
-T:xx : Set the timer for system shutdown in seconds.[20 sec. default]
-F : Force running applications to close.

-d u:xx:yy : List a USER reason code for the shutdown.
-d P:xx:yy : List a PLANNED reason code for the shutdown.
xx Specifies the major reason code (0-255)
yy Specifies the minor reason code (0-65536)
