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.

the situation above.

Thanks for your input,
