    This is a thin wrapper around either :c:func:`!sigaction` or :c:func:`!signal`.  Do
    not call those functions directly!
 
+
+.. c:function:: int PyOS_InterruptOccurred(void)
+
+   Check if a :c:macro:`!SIGINT` signal has been received.
+
+   Returns ``1`` if a :c:macro:`!SIGINT` has occurred and clears the signal flag,
+   or ``0`` otherwise.
+
+   In most cases, you should prefer :c:func:`PyErr_CheckSignals` over this function.
+   :c:func:`!PyErr_CheckSignals` invokes the appropriate signal handlers
+   for all pending signals, allowing Python code to handle the signal properly.
+   This function only detects :c:macro:`!SIGINT` and does not invoke any Python
+   signal handlers.
+
+   This function is async-signal-safe and this function cannot fail.
+   The caller must hold an :term:`attached thread state`.
