Hardware-generated Exceptions
All INT_NUM between 0x0 and 0x1F, inclusive, are reserved for exceptions; INT_NUM bigger than 0x1F are used for interrupt routines. (Note that the IBM PC did not always obey this rule, for instance using interrupt 5 to indicate the Print Screen key was pressed.)

Famous quotes containing the word exceptions:
“For true poetry, complete poetry, consists in the harmony of contraries. Hence, it is time to say aloud—and it is here above all that exceptions prove the rule—that everything that exists in nature exists in art.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
