/*
 * copyin/copyout/copyinstr/copyoutstr are standard BSD kernel functions.
 *
 * copyin copies LEN bytes from a user-space address USERSRC to a
 * kernel-space address DEST.
 *
 * copyout copies LEN bytes from a kernel-space address SRC to a
 * user-space address USERDEST.
 *
 * copyinstr copies a null-terminated string of at most LEN bytes from
 * a user-space address USERSRC to a kernel-space address DEST, and 
 * returns the actual length of string found in GOT. DEST is always
 * null-terminated on success. LEN and GOT include the null terminator.
 *
 * copyoutstr copies a null-terminated string of at most LEN bytes from
 * a kernel-space address SRC to a user-space address USERDEST, and 
 * returns the actual length of string found in GOT. DEST is always
 * null-terminated on success. LEN and GOT include the null terminator.
 *
 * All of these functions return 0 on success, EFAULT if a memory
 * addressing error was encountered, or (for the string versions)
 * ENAMETOOLONG if the space available was insufficient.
 *
 * NOTE that the order of the arguments is the same as bcopy() or 
 * cp/mv, that is, source on the left, NOT the same as strcpy().
 * The const qualifiers and types will help protect against mistakes
 * in this regard but are obviously not foolproof.
 *
 * These functions are machine-dependent; however, a common version
 * that can be used by a number of machine types is found in
 * vm/copyinout.c.
