NAME
       cli, sti - disable/enable interrupts

SYNOPSIS
       #include <asm/system.h>

       extern void cli()
       extern void sti()

DESCRIPTION
       The  cli	 function causes interrupts to be blocked on the host, so that
       following critical code may run uninterrupted. The sti function enables
       interrupts again.

       Although	 it is possible to use cli/sti pairs to protect critical code,
       it is best to use cli with the save_flags macro. See save_flags (9).

RETURN VALUE
       none

AVAILABILITY
       Linux 1.0+

SEE ALSO
