  From  Jargon  File  (4.2.3,  23  NOV  2000)  [jargon]: 
 
  spl  /S-P-L/  [abbrev,  from  Set  Priority  Level]  The  way 
  traditional  Unix  kernels  implement  mutual  exclusion  by  running  code  at 
  high  interrupt  levels.  Used  in  jargon  to  describe  the  act  of  tuning  in  or 
  tuning  out  ordinary  communication.  Classically,  spl  levels  run  from  1  to 
  7;  "Fred's  at  spl  6  today"  would  mean  that  he  is  very  hard  to  interrupt. 
  "Wait  till  I  finish  this  I'll  spl  down  then."  See  also  {interrupts 
  locked  out}.
