mcopyin(9F)		 Kernel Functions for Drivers		   mcopyin(9F)

NAME
       mcopyin - Convert an M_IOCTL or M_IOCDATA message to an M_COPYIN

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/stream.h>
       #include <sys/strsun.h>

       void mcopyin(mblk_t *mp, void *private, size_t size, void * useraddr);

INTERFACE LEVEL
       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS
       mp	       M_IOCTL or M_IOCDATA message.

       private	       Value  to  which the cq_private field of copyreq(9S) is
		       set.

       size	       Value to which the cq_size field of copyreq(9S) is set.

       useraddr	       Optionally, the value to which  the  cq_addr  field  of
		       copyreq(9S) is set.

DESCRIPTION
       The mcopyin() function converts an M_IOCTL or M_IOCDATA message into an
       M_COPYIN message using the supplied arguments.

       To convert the message, mcopyin() changes the message type to M_COPYIN,
       and  its	 payload  from	a  iocblk(9S)  to  a  copyreq(9S).  Since  the
       iocblk(9S) and copyreq(9S) are designed to  overlay  one	 another,  the
       only fields which must be updated are cq_private, cq_size, and cq_addr,
       which are set to the supplied values. If useraddr is passed as NULL, mp
       must  be	 a  transparent	 M_IOCTL, and cq_addr is assigned the pointer-
       sized quantity found at mp->b_cont->b_rptr.

       Any trailing message blocks associated with mp are freed.

RETURN VALUES
       None.

CONTEXT
       This function can be called from user, kernel or interrupt context.
