Is there a C++ function to turn off the computer?

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++?

Basically, what is the code to turn off a windows xp computer in c++?

Answer 1

On windows you can use the ExitWindows function described here:
