__strncpy_from_user — Copy a NUL terminated string from userspace, with less checking.
long __strncpy_from_user (
char * dst, const char __user * src, long count)
;
dst
Destination address, in kernel space. This buffer must be at
least count
bytes long.
src
Source address, in user space.
count
Maximum number of bytes to copy, including the trailing NUL.
Copies a NUL-terminated string from userspace to kernel space.
Caller must check the specified block with access_ok
before calling
this function.
On success, returns the length of the string (not including the trailing NUL).
If access to userspace fails, returns -EFAULT (some data may have been copied).
If count
is smaller than the length of the string, copies count
bytes
and returns count
.
