.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
functions are designed to copy contiguous data from one address
|
|
to another. All but
|
|
.Fn copystr
|
|
copy data from user-space to kernel-space or vice-versa.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
routines provide the following functionality:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "copyoutstr()"
|
|
.It Fn copyin
|
|
Copies
|
|
.Pa len
|
|
bytes of data from the user-space address
|
|
.Pa uaddr
|
|
to the kernel-space address
|
|
.Pa kaddr .
|
|
.It Fn copyout
|
|
Copies
|
|
.Pa len
|
|
bytes of data from the kernel-space address
|
|
.Pa kaddr
|
|
to the user-space address
|
|
.Pa uaddr .
|
|
.It Fn copystr
|
|
Copies a NUL-terminated string, at most
|
|
.Pa len
|
|
bytes long, from kernel-space address
|
|
.Pa kfaddr
|
|
to kernel-space address
|
|
.Pa kdaddr .
|
|
The number of bytes actually copied, including the terminating
|
|
NUL, is returned in
|
|
.Pa *done .
|
|
.It Fn copyinstr
|
|
Copies a NUL-terminated string, at most
|
|
.Pa len
|
|
bytes long, from user-space address
|
|
.Pa uaddr
|
|
to kernel-space address
|
|
.Pa kaddr .
|
|
The number of bytes actually copied, including the terminating
|
|
NUL, is returned in
|
|
.Pa *done .
|

|
|
The

|
|
functions return 0 on success or

.Er EFAULT
|
|
if a bad address is encountered.
