What does holding down the Home and Lock button do?

I read about it, and does it only apply to freezes? Are there any benefits for doing this? Do files get erased?

Holding Lock and Home buttons will restart the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. This is used when the device is frozen and you can't turn it off, and normally it's used only for this. This doesn't erase anything
