SEI
From C64-Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchSEI (short for "SEt Interrupt flag") is the mnemonic for a machine language instruction which sets the interrupt flag, thereby preventing the CPU from responding to IRQ interrupt events. To re-enable the response to IRQs, use the complementary instruction CLI.
