A software can be defined as a set of executable instructions (codes) or collection of data that is used typically to instruct a computer on how to perform a specific task and solve a particular problem.
The four (4) input-output (I/O) software layers includes the following;
I. User level software: it provides user programs with a simple user interface to perform input and output functions.
II. Device drivers: it controls the input-output (I/O) devices that are connected to a computer system through a wired or wireless connection.
III. Device-independent OS software: it allows for uniform interfacing and buffering for device drivers.
IV. Interrupt drivers (handlers): it is responsible for handling interruptions that occur while using a software on a computer system.
An interrupt is a signal from a program or device connected to a computer and it's typically designed to instruct the operating system (OS) that an event has occurred and requires an attention such as stopping its current activities or processes.
