KCOPY(9)               NetBSD 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.
     kcopy() returns 0 on success and an error number on failure.
