Interrupt handlers in linux are done via signals i believe. You can begin your
process as normal and send it "signals" just like you would interrupts in DOS.
There are a few differences though. I would recommend a good book or online
tutorial regarding Linux/Unix IPC ( Inter-Process Communication ) to learn more
about signals. I will be working on a wrapper for most linux IPC functions
( including signals ) but right now my focus is on Berkley sockets so it might
be a while before i get anything good done with signals.
signals is far too large a topic to fully disguss here. I recommend a book:
"Unix Network Programming" by W. Richard Stevens (C) 1990 PTR Prentice Hall.
even thought it is very old it has *ALOT* of useful information on signals.
Hope that helps.
