+.SH NAME
+/proc/interrupts \- number of interrupts
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.TP
+.I /proc/interrupts
+This is used to record the number of interrupts per CPU per IO device.
+Since Linux 2.6.24,
+for the i386 and x86-64 architectures, at least, this also includes
+interrupts internal to the system (that is, not associated with a device
+as such), such as NMI (nonmaskable interrupt), LOC (local timer interrupt),
+and for SMP systems, TLB (TLB flush interrupt), RES (rescheduling
+interrupt), CAL (remote function call interrupt), and possibly others.
+Very easy to read formatting, done in ASCII.
