COPY(9)			      BSD Kernel Manual			       COPY(9)

NAME
     copy - kernel copy functions

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/systm.h>

     int
     copyin(void *uaddr, void *kaddr, size_t len);

     int
     copyout(void *kaddr, void *uaddr, size_t len);

     int
     copystr(void *kfaddr, void *kdaddr, size_t len, size_t *done);

     int
     copyinstr(void *uaddr, void *kaddr, size_t len, size_t *done);

     int
     copyoutstr(void *kaddr, void *uaddr, size_t len, size_t *done);

DESCRIPTION
     The copy functions are designed to copy contiguous data from one address
     to another. All but copystr() copy data from user-space to kernel-space
     or vice-versa.

     The copy routines provide the following functionality:

     copyin()	   Copies len bytes of data from the user-space address uaddr
		   to the kernel-space address kaddr.

     copyout()	   Copies len bytes of data from the kernel-space address
		   kaddr to the user-space address uaddr.

     copystr()	   Copies a null-terminated string, at most len bytes long,
		   from kernel-space address kfaddr to kernel-space address
		   kdaddr. The number of bytes actually copied, including the
		   terminating null, is returned in *done.

     copyinstr()   Copies a null-terminated string, at most len bytes long,
		   from user-space address uaddr to kernel-space address
		   kaddr. The number of bytes actually copied, including the
		   terminating null, is returned in *done.

     copyoutstr()  Copies a null-terminated string, at most len bytes long,
		   from kernel-space address kaddr to user-space address
		   uaddr. The number of bytes actually copied, including the
		   terminating null, is returned in *done.

RETURN VALUES
     The copy functions return 0 on success or EFAULT if a bad address is en-
     countered. In addition, the copystr(), copyinstr(), and copyoutstr()
     functions return ENAMETOOLONG if the string is longer than len bytes.
