^^^^^
Please I

There is no such thing as shutdown or DOS in C. You seek an msdos
programming newsgroup or some comp.sources newsgroup maybe.

char *cmd = "Shutdown";

system(cmd);

which OS are you using?
have a look in this link http://www.tburke.net/info/rundll.htm
there are many system functions that will do that for you, you may also
you asm code.

For DOS *only*:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
puts("Please switch the power off.");
while (1) ;
}

Not portable in the sense that it may do nothing on an ISO C compliant
implementation, like say an embedded system.

This may also work for other systems as newer machines have a soft power
button that actually shuts down gracefully.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bogus argument: freestanding implementations need not support any of the
standard C library. Your objection to system() is equally valid to
strlen() or malloc() on a freestanding implementation.

The *right* objection to system() is that its argument is highly platform
specific. Then again, this is equally true for fopen's first argument ;-)

There is more than one way of switching the power off ;-)
