How to hiberate from the command-line in Cinnamon Desktop

Question

I just installed Xubuntu 22.04.1 a few days ago, and then installed Cinnamon desktop on it. I'm very happy with it, but I'm not sure how to make it hibernate. There was a GUI option on XFCE (if enabled), but on Cinnamon, I only see options for suspending/sleep.

Anyway, I was wondering if there was a command-line way of making it hibernate--and particularly if there's a Cinnamon-specific way.

Does this answer your question? How can I suspend/hibernate from command line? — guiverc, Sep 17 '22 at 12:55
It answers a good part of it, but doesn't address whether or not there's a Cinnamon-specific way). — Brōtsyorfuzthrāx, Sep 17 '22 at 14:30
For instance, there is a Cinnamon-specific way for making it sleep (not sure about hibernating). I'll edit the question to distinguish it more, since I didn't technically ask that. — Brōtsyorfuzthrāx, Sep 17 '22 at 14:32

I think the answer is possibly that there isn't one that's Cinnamon-specific (someone else please answer if I'm wrong). For general-purposes (not Cinnamon), see the possible duplicate question/answers mentioned by guiverc.

The keyboard shortcut for hibernating (if you set it up) in Cinnamon doesn't work either. However, you can set up Cinnamon-specific keyboard shortcuts for shutting down and suspending (without having to enter a root password), but these methods don't reveal command-line ways of doing them. You can also set the power switch to do those things. You can, however, lock the screen from the command-line in a Cinnamon-specific way: cinnamon-screensaver-command -l.
