+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+functions are designed to copy contiguous data from one address to another.
+All but
+.Fn kcopy
+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
+.Fa len
+bytes of data from the user-space address
+.Fa uaddr
+to the kernel-space address
+.Fa kaddr .
+.It Fn copyout
+Copies
+.Fa len
+bytes of data from the kernel-space address
+.Fa kaddr
+to the user-space address
+.Fa uaddr .
+.It Fn copyinstr
+Copies a null-terminated string, at most
+.Fa len
+bytes long, from user-space address
+.Fa uaddr
+to kernel-space address
+.Fa kaddr .
+The number of bytes actually copied, including the terminating null,
+is returned in
+.Fa *done ,
+if
+.Fa done
+is not
+.Dv NULL .
+.It Fn copyoutstr
+Copies a null-terminated string, at most
+.Fa len
+bytes long, from kernel-space address
+.Fa kaddr
+to user-space address
+.Fa uaddr .
+The number of bytes actually copied, including the terminating null,
+is returned in
+.Fa *done ,
+if
+.Fa done
+is not
+.Dv NULL .
+.It Fn kcopy
+Copies
+.Fa len
+bytes of data from the kernel-space address
+.Fa kfaddr
+to the kernel-space address
+.Fa kdaddr .
+.El
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Nm
+functions return 0 on success or
+.Er EFAULT
+if a bad address is encountered.
+In addition, the
+.Fn copyinstr
+and
+.Fn copyoutstr
+functions return
+.Er ENAMETOOLONG
+if the string is longer than
+.Fa len
+bytes.
