copyinto()

void copyinto(uintptr_t addr, size_t size, void *dest)

copyinto()copies the specified size in bytes from the specified user address into the DTrace scratch buffer specified by dest. The user address is interpreted as an address in the space of the process associated with the current thread. The address in question must correspond to a faulted-in page in the current process. If the address does not correspond to a faulted-in page, or if any of the destination memory lies outside scratch space, no copying takes place, and an error is generated. See Chapter 33, User Process Tracing for techniques to reduce the likelihood of copyinto errors.
