\subsection{Interrupt Handling}
	 SICS needs a way to interrupt server processsing. This is done
	 with this module.
	 Interrupts may come in through two ways: They may be created
	 internally or they may be user requested. For the last ones
	 the main loop will poll an additional special interrupt
	 port.

In order to do interrupting a set of interrupt codes are defined:
\begin{verbatim}
#define eContinue   0
#define eAbortOperation  1
#define eAbortScan       2
#define eAbortBatch 3
#define eHaltSystem 4
#define eFreeSystem 5
#define eEndServer  6
\end{verbatim}
Their meanings:
\begin{description}
\item[eContinue] Go on, interrupt nothing.
\item[eAbortOperation] stop current hardware operation but no scans or
batchfiles.
\item[eAbortScan] stop current scan or operation but continue processing of
batch files with next command.
\item[eAbortBatch] Stop all processing, even batch files.
\item[eHaltSystem, eFreeSystem] are currently unused.
\item[eEndServer] is used internally by the SicsExitus command to run down
the server. 
\end{description}

The interrupt module supports the following interface:
\begin{description}
\item[void ServerStopInterrupt(void)] stops interrupt processing.
\item[void SetInterrupt(int iCode)]
    Send an interrupt to all connections. Use with care! More often an
interrupt need to be set on a special connection. This can be done with
SCSetInterrupt defined in conman.h.
\item[int Interrupt2Text(int iInterrupt, char *text, int iTextLen)] converts
iInterrupt to a text. Maximum iTextLen characters will be copied to text.
\item[int Text2Interrupt(char *text)] Converts text, when applicable to an
interrupt code which is returned. If the text is invalid -1 is returned.
\item[int ClientSetupInterrupt(char *host, int iPort)] Creates a client side
interrupt UDP port. 
\item[void ClientStopInterrupt(void)] removes an client side interrupt port
created by ClientSetupInterrupt.
\item[void SendInterrupt( int iCode)] sends an interrupt through the UDP
port.
\end{description}   

Please note, that the interrupt implementation is distributed into two
files: intserv.c for the server side stuff and intcli.c for the client side
part. UDP interrupting is not fully tested.
