KCOPY(9)

KCOPY(9) | Kernel Developer's Manual | KCOPY(9)

# NAME

`kcopy` —
copy data with abort on page fault

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <sys/systm.h>`

int
`kcopy`(const void *src, void *dst, size_t len);

# DESCRIPTION

`kcopy`() copies len bytes from src to dst, aborting if a fatal page fault is encountered.

`kcopy`() must save and restore the old fault handler since it is called by uiomove(9), which may be in the path of servicing a non-fatal page fault.

# RETURN VALUES

`kcopy`() returns 0 on success and an error number on failure.

# SEE ALSO

errno(2), memcpy(9), uiomove(9)
