man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;
.\" $Id$

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

|

.Sh NAME

.Nm kernacc ,

|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <vm/vm.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <vm/vm_extern.h>
|
|
.Ft int

.Fn useracc "caddr_t addr" "int len" "int rw"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn kernacc
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn useracc
|
|
functions check whether operations of the type specified in
|
|
.Fa rw
|
|
are permitted in the range of virtual addresses given by
|
|
.Fa addr
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa len .
|
|
The possible values of
|
|
.Fa rw
|
|
are
|
|
.Dv B_READ
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv B_WRITE .
|
|
.Fn kernacc
|
|
checks addresses in the kernel address space, while
|
|
.Fn useracc
|
|
considers
|
|
.Fa addr
|
|
to represent an user space address. The process context to use for this
|
|
operation is taken from the global variable
|
|
.Va curproc .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Both functions return 1 if the type of access specified by
|
|
.Fa rw
|
|
is permitted. Otherwise 0 is returned.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The process pointer should be passed in as an argument.
