NAME

ddi_copyout - copy data from a driver

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ddi.h>
#include <sys/sunddi.h>



int ddi_copyout(const void *driverbuf, void *buf, size_t cn, int flags);

INTERFACE LEVEL

Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS

driverbuf

: Source address in the driver from which the data is transferred.

buf

: Destination address to which the data is transferred.

: Number of bytes to copy.

flags

: Set of flag bits that provide address space information about buf.

DESCRIPTION

This routine is designed for use in driver ioctl(9E) routines for drivers that support layered ioctls. ddi_copyout() copies data from a driver buffer to a destination address, buf.

The flags argument determines the address space information about buf. If the FKIOCTL flag is set, this indicates that buf is a kernel address, and ddi_copyout() behaves like bcopy(9F). Otherwise, buf is interpreted as a user buffer address, and ddi_copyout() behaves like copyout(9F).

Addresses that are word-aligned are moved most efficiently. However, the driver developer is not obliged to ensure alignment. This function automatically finds the most efficient move algorithm according to address alignment.

RETURN VALUES

Under normal conditions, 0 is returned to indicate a successful copy. Otherwise, -1 is returned if one of the following occurs:

: o Paging fault; the driver tried to access a page of memory for which it did not have read or write access.

: o Invalid user address, such as a user area or stack area.

: o Invalid address that would have resulted in data being copied into the user block.

: o Hardware fault; a hardware error prevented access to the specified user memory. For example, an uncorrectable parity or ECC error occurred.

If -1 is returned to the caller, driver entry point routines should return EFAULT.

CONTEXT

ddi_copyout() can be called from user or kernel context only.

EXAMPLES

Example 1 ddi_copyout() example

A driver ioctl(9E) routine (line 12) can be used to get or set device attributes or registers. In the XX_GETREGS condition (line 25), the driver copies the current device register values to another data area. If the specified argument contains an invalid address, an error code is returned.
