38.Sh NAME
39.Nm store ,
40.Nm subyte ,
41.Nm suword
42.Nd store data to user-space
43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.In sys/types.h
45.In sys/time.h
46.In sys/systm.h
47.Ft int
48.Fn subyte "volatile void *base" "int byte"
49.Ft int
50.Fn suword "volatile void *base" "long word"
51.Ft int
52.Fn suword16 "volatile void *base" "int word"
53.Ft int
54.Fn suword32 "volatile void *base" "int32_t word"
55.Ft int
56.Fn suword64 "volatile void *base" "int64_t word"
57.Sh DESCRIPTION
58The
59.Nm
60functions are designed to copy small amounts of data to user-space.
61If the user address is naturally aligned, then the operation will be
62performed atomically.
63Otherwise it may fail or be performed non-atomically, depending on
64the platform.
65.Pp
66The
67.Nm
68routines provide the following functionality:
69.Bl -tag -width "suword64()"
70.It Fn subyte
71Stores a byte of data to the user-space address
72.Pa base .
73.It Fn suword
74Stores a word of data to the user-space address
75.Pa base .
76.It Fn suword16
77Stores 16 bits of data to the user-space address
78.Pa base .
79.It Fn suword32
80Stores 32 bits of data to the user-space address
81.Pa base .
82.It Fn suword64
83Stores 64 bits of data to the user-space address
84.Pa base .
85.El
86.Sh RETURN VALUES
87The
88.Nm
89functions return 0 on success or -1 on failure.
