On this page you can get a detailed analysis of a word or phrase, produced by the best artificial intelligence technology to date:
The Interrupt flag (IF) is a flag bit in the CPU's FLAGS register, which determines whether or not the (CPU) will respond immediately to maskable hardware interrupts. If the flag is set to 1
maskable interrupts are enabled. If reset (set to 0
) such interrupts will be disabled until interrupts are enabled. The Interrupt flag does not affect the handling of non-maskable interrupts (NMIs) or software interrupts generated by the INT instruction.
