18 \fBint\fR \fBddi_copyout\fR(\fBconst void *\fR\fIdriverbuf\fR, \fBvoid *\fR\fIbuf\fR, \fBsize_t\fR \fIcn\fR, \fBint\fR \fIflags\fR);
24 Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).
32 Source address in the driver from which the data is transferred.
41 Destination address to which the data is transferred.
50 Number of bytes to copy.
59 Set of flag bits that provide address space information about \fIbuf\fR.
65 This routine is designed for use in driver \fBioctl\fR(9E) routines for drivers
66 that support layered ioctls. \fBddi_copyout()\fR copies data from a driver
67 buffer to a destination address, \fIbuf\fR.
70 The \fIflags\fR argument determines the address space information about
71 \fIbuf\fR. If the \fBFKIOCTL\fR flag is set, this indicates that \fIbuf\fR is a
72 kernel address, and \fBddi_copyout()\fR behaves like \fBbcopy\fR(9F).
73 Otherwise, \fIbuf\fR is interpreted as a user buffer address, and
74 \fBddi_copyout()\fR behaves like \fBcopyout\fR(9F).
77 Addresses that are word-aligned are moved most efficiently. However, the
78 driver developer is not obliged to ensure alignment. This function
79 automatically finds the most efficient move algorithm according to address
84 Under normal conditions, \fB0\fR is returned to indicate a successful copy.
85 Otherwise, \(mi\fB1\fR is returned if one of the following occurs:
90 Paging fault; the driver tried to access a page of memory for which it did not
91 have read or write access.
97 Invalid user address, such as a user area or stack area.
103 Invalid address that would have resulted in data being copied into the user
110 Hardware fault; a hardware error prevented access to the specified user memory.
111 For example, an uncorrectable parity or \fBECC\fR error occurred.
115 If \(mi\fB1\fR is returned to the caller, driver entry point routines should
120 \fBddi_copyout()\fR can be called from user or kernel context only.
123 \fBExample 1 \fR\fBddi_copyout()\fR example
126 A driver \fBioctl\fR(9E) routine (line 12) can be used to get or set device
127 attributes or registers. In the \fBXX_GETREGS\fR condition (line 25), the
128 driver copies the current device register values to another data area. If the
129 specified argument contains an invalid address, an error code is returned.

195 The value of the \fIflags\fR argument to \fBddi_copyout()\fR should be passed
196 through directly from the \fImode\fR argument of \fBioctl()\fR untranslated.
199 Driver defined locks should not be held across calls to this function.
202 \fBddi_copyout()\fR should not be used from a streams driver. See
203 \fBM_COPYIN\fR and \fBM_COPYOUT\fR in \fISTREAMS Programming Guide\fR.
