63.Sh DESCRIPTION
64The
65.Nm
66functions are designed to copy small amounts of data to user-space.
67If write is successful, it is performed atomically.
68The data written must be naturally aligned.
69.Pp
70The
71.Nm
72routines provide the following functionality:
73.Bl -tag -width "suswintr()"
74.It Fn subyte
75Stores a byte of data to the user-space address
76.Pa base .
77.It Fn suword
78Stores a word of data to the user-space address
79.Pa base .
80.It Fn suword16
81Stores 16 bits of data to the user-space address
82.Pa base .
83.It Fn suword32
84Stores 32 bits of data to the user-space address
85.Pa base .
86.It Fn suword64
87Stores 64 bits of data to the user-space address
88.Pa base .
89.It Fn suswintr
90Stores a short word of data to the user-space address
91.Pa base .
92This function is safe to call during an interrupt context.
93.El
94.Sh RETURN VALUES
95The
96.Nm
97functions return 0 on success or -1 on failure.
