.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn kernacc
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn useracc
|
|
|
|
|
functions check whether operations of the type specified in
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa rw
|
|
|
|
|
are permitted in the range of virtual addresses given by
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa addr
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa len .
|
|
|
|
|
The possible values of
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa rw
|
|
|
|
|
are
|
|
|
|
|
.Dv B_READ
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.Dv B_WRITE .
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn kernacc
|
|
|
|
|
checks addresses in the kernel address space, while
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn useracc
|
|
|
|
|
considers
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa addr
|
|
|
|
|
to represent an user space address. The process context to use for this
|
|
|
|
|
operation is taken from the global variable
|
|
|
|
|
.Va curproc .
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
|
Both functions return 1 if the type of access specified by
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa rw
|
|
|
|
|
is permitted. Otherwise 0 is returned.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
|
|
|
The process pointer should be passed in as an argument.
