30.Sh NAME
31.Nm interrupt_distribute
32.Nd assign an interrupt to a CPU
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.In sys/interrupt.h
35.Ft int
36.Fn interrupt_distribute "void *ich" "const kcpuset_t *newset" \
37"kcpuset_t *oldset"
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39The
40.Nm
41function exists to assign an interrupt to a CPU.
42.Pp
43If a driver (or the other kernel component) wishes to assign an
44interrupt to a CPU, it should pass an interrupt handler such as
45the return value of
46.Fn pci_intr_establish
47as
48.Fa ich
49argument, and it should pass the kcpuset to which it should be
50assigned as

52To get the previous value, pass a
53.Pf non- Dv NULL
54value to
55.Ft oldset .
