66.Sh DESCRIPTION
67The
68.Nm
69functions are designed to copy small amounts of data from user-space.
70.Pp
71The
72.Nm
73routines provide the following functionality:
74.Bl -tag -width "fuswintr()"
75.It Fn fubyte
76Fetches a byte of data from the user-space address
77.Pa base .
78.It Fn fuword
79Fetches a word of data from the user-space address
80.Pa base .
81.It Fn fuword16
82Fetches 16 bits of data from the user-space address
83.Pa base .
84.It Fn fuword32
85Fetches 32 bits of data from the user-space address
86.Pa base .
87.It Fn fuword64
88Fetches 64 bits of data from the user-space address
89.Pa base .
90.It Fn fuswintr
91Fetches a short word of data from the user-space address
92.Pa base .
93This function is safe to call during an interrupt context.
94.El
95.Sh RETURN VALUES
96The
97.Nm
98functions return the data fetched or -1 on failure.
