# 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.
