+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+functions are designed to copy contiguous data from one address
+to another. All but
+.Fn copystr
+copy data from user-space to kernel-space or vice-versa.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+routines provide the following functionality:
+.Bl -tag -width "copyoutstr()"
+.It Fn copyin
+Copies
+.Pa len
+bytes of data from the user-space address
+.Pa uaddr
+to the kernel-space address
+.Pa kaddr .
+.It Fn copyout
+Copies
+.Pa len
+bytes of data from the kernel-space address
+.Pa kaddr
+to the user-space address
+.Pa uaddr .
+.It Fn copystr
+Copies a NULL-terminated string, at most
+.Pa len
+bytes long, from kernel-space address
+.Pa kfaddr
+to kernel-space address
+.Pa kdaddr .
+The number of bytes actually copied, including the terminating
+NULL, is returned in
+.Pa *done .
+.It Fn copyinstr
+Copies a NULL-terminated string, at most
+.Pa len
+bytes long, from user-space address
+.Pa uaddr
+to kernel-space address
+.Pa kaddr .
+The number of bytes actually copied, including the terminating
+NULL, is returned in
+.Pa *done .
+.\" .It Fn copyoutstr
+.\" Copies a NULL-terminated string, at most

+.\" The number of bytes actually copied, including the terminating

+.El
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Nm
+functions return 0 on success or EFAULT if a bad address is encountered.
+In addition, the
+.Fn copystr ,
+and
+.Fn copyinstr
+.\" .Fn copyinstr ,
+.\" and
+.\" .Fn copyoutstr
+functions return ENAMETOOLONG if the string is longer than
+.Pa len
+bytes.
