+
+noInterrupts()
+==============
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+Disables interrupts (you can re-enable them with interrupts()).
+Interrupts allow certain important tasks to happen in the
+background and are enabled by default. Some functions will not work
+while interrupts are disabled, and incoming communication may be
+ignored. Interrupts can slightly disrupt the timing of code,
+however, and may be disabled for particularly critical sections of
+code.
+
+
+
+Parameters
+----------
+
+None.
+
+
+
+Returns
+-------
+
+None.
+
+
+
+Example
+-------
+
+::
+
+    void setup() {}
+    
+    void loop()
+    {
+      noInterrupts();
+      // critical, time-sensitive code here
+      interrupts();
+      // other code here
+    }
