Therefore, testing correct handling of interrupts is a different type of test in contrast to general tests on return value checks as seen in Subsection~\ref{subsec:testing-return-value-checks}.
It is relatively simple to test if a program correctly handles interrupts.
On any function call, that may yield \texttt{EINTR} mock the call and return exactly that error.
On any function call that may yield \texttt{EINTR} mock the call and return exactly that error.
Afterward, check if the same function is called again.
To increase confidence in the result, one may repeat this process multiple times.
As in the test in Subsection~\ref{subsec:testing-return-value-checks}, the handling of the interrupt may involve calls to other functions, so this method is not always the right choice.
