# zx_interrupt_ack

## NAME

<!-- Updated by update-docs-from-fidl, do not edit. -->

Acknowledge an interrupt and re-arm it.

## SYNOPSIS

<!-- Updated by update-docs-from-fidl, do not edit. -->

```c
#include <zircon/syscalls.h>

zx_status_t zx_interrupt_ack(zx_handle_t handle);
```

## DESCRIPTION

`zx_interrupt_ack()` acknowledges an interrupt object, causing it to be eligible
to trigger again (and delivering a packet to the port it is bound to).

If the interrupt object is a physical interrupt, if it is a level interrupt and
still asserted, or is an edge interrupt that has been asserted since it last
triggered, the interrupt will trigger immediately, delivering a packet to the
port it is bound to.

Virtual interrupts behave as edge interrupts.

This syscall only operates on interrupts which are bound to a port.  Interrupts
being waited upon with [`zx_interrupt_wait()`] do not need to be re-armed with this
call -- it happens automatically when [`zx_interrupt_wait()`] is called.

## RIGHTS

<!-- Updated by update-docs-from-fidl, do not edit. -->

*handle* must be of type **ZX_OBJ_TYPE_INTERRUPT** and have **ZX_RIGHT_WRITE**.

## RETURN VALUE

`zx_interrupt_ack()` returns **ZX_OK** on success. In the event
of failure, a negative error value is returned.

## ERRORS

**ZX_ERR_BAD_HANDLE** *handle* is an invalid handle.

**ZX_ERR_WRONG_TYPE** *handle* is not an interrupt object.

**ZX_ERR_BAD_STATE** *handle* is not bound to a port.

**ZX_ERR_CANCELED**  [`zx_interrupt_destroy()`] was called on *handle*.

**ZX_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED** *handle* lacks **ZX_RIGHT_WRITE**.
