- NAME
- CopyFromBuff -- Copy n bytes from an abstract data structure.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- success = CopyFromBuff(to, from, n)
- d0 a0 a1 d0
-
- BOOL CopyToBuff(VOID *, VOID *, ULONG);
-
- FUNCTION
- This function copies 'n' bytes of data in the abstract data structure
- pointed to by 'from' into the contigous memory pointed to by 'to'.
- 'to' must contain at least 'n' bytes of usable memory or innocent
- memory will be overwritten.
-
- INPUTS
- to - pointer to contiguous memory to copy to.
- from - pointer to abstract structure to copy from.
- n - number of bytes to copy.
-
- RESULT
- success - TRUE if operation was successful, else FALSE.
-
- EXAMPLE
-
- NOTES
- This function must be callable from interupts. In particular, this
- means that this function may not directly or indirectly call any
- system memory functions (since those functions rely on Forbid() to
- protect themselves) and that you must not compile this function
- with stack checking enabled. See the RKM:Libraries Exec:Interupts
- chapter for more details on what is legal in a routine called from
- an interupt handler.
-
- 'C' programmers should not compile with stack checking (option '-v'
- in SAS) and should geta4() or __saveds.

- NAME
- CopyToBuff -- Copy n bytes to an abstract data structure.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- success = CopyToBuff(to, from, n)
- d0 a0 a1 d0
-
- BOOL CopyToBuff(VOID *, VOID *, ULONG);
-
- FUNCTION
- This function first does any initialization and/or allocation
- required to prepare the abstract data structure pointed at by 'to'
- to be filled with 'n' bytes of data from 'from'. It then executes
- the copy operation.
-
- If, for example, there is not enough memory available to prepare
- the abstract data structure, the call is failed and FALSE is returned.
-
- The buffer management scheme should be such that any memory needed
- to fulfill CopyToBuff() calls is already allocated from the system
- before the call to CopyToBuff() is made.
-
- INPUTS
- to - pointer to abstract structure to copy to.
- from - pointer to contiguous memory to copy from.
- n - number of bytes to copy.
-
- RESULT
- success - TRUE if operation was successful, else FALSE.
