put_user — Write a simple value into user space.
put_user (
x, ptr)
;
This macro copies a single simple value from kernel space to user space. It supports simple types like char and int, but not larger data types like structures or arrays.
ptr
must have pointer-to-simple-variable type, and x
must be assignable
to the result of dereferencing ptr
.
Returns zero on success, or -EFAULT on error.
