#include <sys/systm.h>
int
fubyte(const void *base);
long
fuword(const void *base);
int
fuword16(void *base);

DESCRIPTION

The fetch functions are designed to copy small amounts of data from user-space.
The fetch routines provide the following functionality:
fubyte()
Fetches a byte of data from the user-space address base.
fuword()
Fetches a word of data from the user-space address base.
fuword16()
Fetches 16 bits of data from the user-space address base.
fuword32()
Fetches 32 bits of data from the user-space address base.
fuword64()
Fetches 64 bits of data from the user-space address base.
fuswintr()
Fetches a short word of data from the user-space address base. This function is safe to call during an interrupt context.

RETURN VALUES

The fetch functions return the data fetched or -1 on failure.
