Take your own advice. From the man page:
LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_CAD_ON
(RB_ENABLE_CAD, 0x89abcdef). CAD is enabled. This means
that the CAD keystroke will immediately cause the action
associated with LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_RESTART.
LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_CAD_OFF
(RB_DISABLE_CAD, 0). CAD is disabled. This means that the CAD
keystroke will cause a SIGINT signal to be sent to init
(process 1), whereupon this process may decide upon a
proper action (maybe: kill all processes, sync, reboot).
