# Handling Interrupts

This actually is very simple. gcc provides the means to mark a function as an interrupt service routine, namely prefixing a function with `__attribute__(interrupt)`. So, something like this:
4
```c
5
__attribute__((interrupt)) duart_interrupt(void) {
6
/* Handle the interrupt */

}

```

But there's a macro in `machine.h` to help, so you could replace the above with:
11
```c
12
#include <machine.h>
13
14
ISR duart_interrupt(void) {
15
/* Handle the interrupt */
16
17
}
18
```
19
gcc knows that functions declared using either of the above methods should end with the `rte` rather than `rts` instruction.

26
#define LEDS1 0xa0
27
#define LEDS2 0x50

31

33
34

35
}
36
37

38

39

40
41

42
43

45
delta = -delta;
46
lednum += delta;
47
lednum += delta;
48
}
49
50
set_led(lednum);
51
}

54

55
56

57
58

59
60

61
*pit_tsr = 1;
62
63
set_isr_vector(ivr, isr);
64
65

66

67
68

71

}
