        - ``UART.IRQ_RXIDLE`` interrupt after receiving at least one character
          and then the RX line goes idle.
+       - ``UART.IRQ_RX`` interrupt after each received character.
+       - ``UART.TX_IDLE`` interrupt after or while the last character(s) of
+         a message are of have been sent.
+       - ``UART.BREAK`` interrupt when a break state is detected at RX
 
      - *hard* if true a hardware interrupt is used.  This reduces the delay
        between the pin change and the handler being called.  Hard interrupt
        handlers may not allocate memory; see :ref:`isr_rules`.
 
    Returns an irq object.
