74.Sh DESCRIPTION
75The
76.Nm
77functions are designed to copy small amounts of data from user-space
78of the current process.
79If read is successful, it is performed atomically.
80The data read must be naturally aligned.
81.Pp
82The
83.Nm
84routines provide the following functionality:
85.Bl -tag -width "fueword32()"
86.It Fn fubyte
87Fetches a byte of data from the user-space address
88.Pa base .
89The byte read is zero-extended into the results variable.
90.It Fn fuword
91Fetches a word of data (long) from the user-space address
92.Pa base .
93.It Fn fuword16
94Fetches 16 bits of data from the user-space address
95.Pa base .
96The half-word read is zero-extended into the results variable.
97.It Fn fuword32
98Fetches 32 bits of data from the user-space address
99.Pa base .
100.It Fn fuword64
101Fetches 64 bits of data from the user-space address
102.Pa base .
103.It Fn fuswintr
104Fetches a short word of data from the user-space address
105.Pa base .
106This function is safe to call during an interrupt context.
107.It Fn fueword
108Fetches a word of data (long) from the user-space address
109.Pa base
110and stores the result in the variable pointed by
111.Pa val .
112.It Fn fueword32
113Fetches 32 bits of data from the user-space address
114.Pa base
115and stores the result in the variable pointed by
116.Pa val .
117.It Fn fueword64
118Fetches 64 bits of data from the user-space address
119.Pa base
120and stores the result in the variable pointed by
121.Pa val .
122.El
123.Pp
124The callers of
125.Fn fuword ,
126.Fn fuword32
127and
128.Fn fuword64
129functions cannot distinguish between -1 read from
130userspace and function failure.
131.Sh RETURN VALUES
132The
133.Fn fubyte ,
134.Fn fuword ,
135.Fn fuword16 ,
136.Fn fuword32 ,
137.Fn fuword64 ,
138and
139.Fn fuswintr
140functions return the data fetched or -1 on failure.
141The
142.Fn fueword ,
143.Fn fueword32
144and
145.Fn fueword64
146functions return 0 on success and -1 on failure.
