In digital computers, an interrupt is an input signal to the processor indicating an event that needs immediate attention. An interrupt signal alerts the processor and serves as a request for the processor to interrupt the executing code, so that the event can be processed in a timely manner. If the request is accepted, the processor responds by suspending its current activities, saving its state, executing a function called an interrupt handler to deal with the event; this interruption is temporary, unless the interrupt indicates a fatal error, the processor resumes normal activities after the interrupt handler finishes. Interrupts are used by hardware devices to indicate electronic or physical state changes that require attention. Interrupts are commonly used to implement computer multitasking in real-time computing. Systems that use interrupts in these ways are said to be interrupt-driven. Interrupt signals may be issued in response to software events; these are classified as hardware interrupts or software interrupts, respectively.

For any particular processor, the number of hardware interrupts is limited by the number of interrupt request signals to the processor, whereas the number of software interrupts is determined by the processor's instruction set design. A hardware interrupt request is an electronic signal issued by a hardware device, external to the processor, to communicate that the device needs attention from the operating system or, if there is no OS, from the "bare-metal" program running on the CPU; such external devices may be part of the computer or they may be external peripherals. For example, pressing a keyboard key or moving the mouse triggers hardware interrupts that cause the processor to read the keystroke or mouse position. Unlike software interrupts, hardware interrupts can arrive asynchronously with respect to the processor clock, at any time during instruction execution. All hardware interrupt signals are conditioned by synchronizing them to the processor clock, acted upon only at instruction execution boundaries.

In many systems, each device is associated with a particular IRQ signal. This makes it possible to determine which hardware device is requesting service, to expedite servicing of that device. Processors have an internal interrupt mask register which allows selective enabling and disabling of hardware interrupts; each interrupt signal is associated with a bit in the mask register. When the interrupt is disabled, the associated interrupt signal will be ignored by the processor. Signals which are affected by the mask are called maskable interrupts; some interrupt signals therefore can not be disabled. NMIs indicate high priority events which cannot be ignored under any circumstances, such as the timeout signal from a watchdog timer. To mask an interrupt is to disable it, while to unmask an interrupt is to enable it. A spurious interrupt is an short-duration signal on an interrupt input; these are caused by glitches resulting from electrical interference, race conditions, or malfunctioning devices. A software interrupt is requested by the processor itself upon executing particular instructions or when certain conditions are met.

Every software interrupt signal is associated with a particular interrupt handler. A software interrupt may be intentionally caused by executing a special instruction which, by design, invokes an interrupt when executed; such instructions function to subroutine calls and are used for a variety of purposes, such as requesting operating system services and interacting with device drivers. Software interrupts may be unexpectedly triggered by program execution errors; these interrupts are called traps or exceptions. For example, a divide-by-zero exception will be "thrown" if the processor executes a divide instruction with divisor equal to zero; the operating system will catch and handle this exception. Each interrupt signal input is designed to be triggered by either a logic signal level or a particular signal edge. Level-sensitive inputs continuously request processor service so long as a particular logic level is applied to the input. Edge-sensitive inputs react to signal edges: a particular edge will cause a service request to be latched.

A level-triggered interrupt is requested by holding the interrupt signal at its particular active logic level. A device invokes a level-triggered interrupt by driving the signal to and holding it at the active level, it negates the signal when the processor commands it to do so after the device has been serviced. The processor samples the interrupt input signal during each instruction cycle; the processor will recognize the interrupt request. Level-triggered inputs allow multiple devices to share a common interrupt signal via wired-OR connections; the processor polls to determine. After servicing a device, the processor may again poll and, if necessary, service other devices before exiting the ISR. An edge-triggered interrupt is an interrupt signaled by a level transition on the interrupt line, either a falling edge or a rising edge. A device wishing to signal an interrupt drives a pulse onto the

Paheli is a Bollywood fantasy film released in India on 24 June 2005. It is a remake of the 1973 Hindi movie Duvidha by Mani Kaul, it was directed by Amol Palekar and produced by Juhi Chawla, Aziz Mirza, Sanjiv Chawla and Shah Rukh Khan, who plays the male lead. Paheli is based on the short story written by Vijayadan Detha in Rajasthani language and tells the story of a wife, left by her husband and visited by a ghost, disguised as her husband, in love with her and takes her husband's place. Sunil Shetty, Juhi Chawla, Rajpal Yadav and Amitabh Bachchan have supporting roles in the film; the movie opened the ninth Zimbabwe International Film Festival at the Libertie Cinema Complex in Harare. It was screened at both the Sundance Film Festival and the Palm Springs International Film Festival; the working title of the movie was Ghost Ka Dost. Paheli was India's official entry to the 2006 Oscars; the movie is narrated by two puppets, voiced by Ratna Pathak Shah. Enthusiastic young Lachchi is to be married to the son of the rich merchant Bhanwarlal.

Kishan is a dutiful son who honors his father's wish to start a new, far-away business on a predetermined auspicious date, which happens to be the day after the wedding ceremony. On the wedding night, Kishan turns away from his wife to finish his bookkeeping, in the early morning hours sets off on a business trip, to last five years. Lachchi is devastated; the next day, a ghost appears, having taken Kishan's shape and voice because of his own attachment to Lachchi. Lachchi is thus presented with a dilemma between the representation of all of her desires in the form of the ghost who has taken the form of her real husband, she takes this newfound, magical, self-confident version of Kishan as hers. As Kishan, the ghost befriends all of the real Kishan's family and keeps Bhanwarlal happy by providing him with magical illusory, gold coins, his only blunder is in his treatment of the messenger Bhoja, perplexed by the idea that Kishan has sent a letter from his business trip only to receive it himself in his own house and offended when the ghost does not offer him a drink of water.

Lachchi's bliss goes on until four years when she is pregnant and the real Kishan returns to see if the rumours about his wife's pregnancy are true. He returns to find the ghost in his own form. Kishan's family is unable to determine, they decide to visit the king. On the way to the king they meet Gadariya who helps them out, he asks the real son of Bhanwarlal to pick up hot coals, asks the real husband to gather the sheep, asks Lachchi's real paramour to enter a water-bottle. The real Kishan is everyone returns home. Lachchi is devastated over the loss of the ghost. In the end, it is revealed that the ghost has escaped the bottle and taken control of Kishan's body to live with her. By now Lachchi has given birth to a daughter, Looni Ma, by whom the ghost exposes his identity to Lachchi; the puppets end the story, remarking that this is a old folk tale.
