If this structure is incorporated in a process, interrupt signals (SIGINT) will be caught and recorded in a global counter. The command readInterrupts returns the value of this counter and resests it to zero.

FUN readInterrupts      : com[nat]

Note that system calls may fail with error interruptedSystemCall?'UnixFailures if ProcessInterrupt is used.
