A routine executed when an interrupt occurs. Interrupt handlers typically deal with low-level events in the hardware of a computer system, such as a character arriving at a serial port or a tick of a real-time clock.
a piece of code, rather like a subroutine or procedure, that deals with the cause of an interrupt
a routine that gets control when the CPU accepts an interrupt
a routine that takes control when a specific interrupt occurs
A routine, usually part of the operating system, that executes when an interrupt occurs.
A routine that receives processor control when a specific interrupt occurs.
The software routine that is capable of managing an interrupt?s request for service.
An interrupt handler is a device driver routine that services hardware interrupts.
A program (either BIOS or a device driver), that is used by the CPU to process a hardware interrupt.
An interrupt handler, also known as an interrupt service routine, is a callback subroutine in an operating system or device driver whose execution is triggered by the reception of an interrupt. Interrupt handlers have a multitude of functions, which vary based on the reason the interrupt was generated and the speed at which the Interrupt Handler completes its task.
