The Break Flag (B) is bit 4 of the S-SMP's program status word. It discerns between IRQs and BRK.

BRK and PHP[dubious] set the break flag. IRQs, NMIs, and reset clear it.[1]

RETI and POP can modify the break flag.

In emulation mode the 65c816 has a break flag too.[2] But in native mode it becomes the Index Register Select. PLP can affect the break flag.[3]
