.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions are used to register and schedule software interrupt handlers.
Software interrupt handlers are attached to a software interrupt thread, just
as hardware interrupt handlers are attached to a hardware interrupt thread.
-This means that multiple handlers can be attached to the same thread.
+Multiple handlers can be attached to the same thread.
Software interrupt handlers can be used to queue up less critical processing
inside of hardware interrupt handlers so that the work can be done at a later
time.
Software interrupt threads are different from other kernel threads in that they
are treated as an interrupt thread.
This means that time spent executing these threads is counted as interrupt
-time, and that they can be run via a lightweight context switch during

-The

If this argument points to an existing software interrupt thread, then this

Otherwise a new thread will be created, and if

then the pointer at that address to will be modified to point to the
newly created thread.

.Sh HISTORY
The
-.Fn sinthand_add
-and the
-.Fn sched_swi
+.Fn swi_add
+and
+.Fn swi_sched
functions first appeared in
.Fx 5.0 .
+They replaced the
+.Fn register_swi
+function which appeared in
+.Fx 3.0
+and the
+.Fn setsoft* ,
+and
+.Fn schedsoft*
+functions which date back to at least
+.Bx 4.4 .
.Sh BUGS
-The
-.Fn sinthand_add
-function currently doesn't check for or allow for the
-.Dv INTR_EXCL
-flag to be used to allow a software interrupt handler to have exclusive
-access to a particular software interrupt thread.
-There is also no checking to verify that one does not add a software interrupt
-handler to a hardware interrupt thread.
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn sinthand_add
-function should really return an error code and use a
-.Fa "void **cookiep"
-argument to return a cookie that is passed in as the first argument to
-.Fn sched_swi
-instead of exposing the
-.Li struct intrhand
-type.
