FETCH(9)                 BSD Kernel Developer's Manual                FETCH(9)

NAME
     fetch, fubyte, fuibyte, fuiword, fulong, fuulong, fuword -- fetch data from user-space

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

     int
     fubyte(const user_addr_t addr);

     int
     fuibyte(const user_addr_t addr);

     int
     fuiword(user_addr_t addr);

     int64_t
     fulong(user_addr_t addr);

     uint64_t
     fuulong(user_addr_t addr);

     int
     fuword(user_addr_t addr);

DESCRIPTION
     The fetch functions are designed to copy small amounts of data from user-space.

     The fetch routines provide the following functionality:

     fubyte()   Fetches a byte of data from the user-space address addr.

     fuibyte()  Fetches a byte of data from the user-space address addr.  This function is safe to call dur-ing during
                ing an interrupt context.

     fuiword()  Fetches a word of data from the user-space address addr.  This function is safe to call dur-ing during
                ing an interrupt context.

     fulong()   Fetches a long word of data from the user-space address addr.

     fuulong()  Fetches a unsigned long word of data from the user-space address addr.

     fuword()   Fetches a word of data from the user-space address addr.

RETURN VALUES
     The fetch functions return the data fetched or -1 on failure.
