Why I can't find `copy_to_user()` in `man` section 9

I have found kmalloc() and list_for_each_entry() in man command. But, there is no copy_to_user(). Why?

Where could I find a full list of kernel functions?

Solution

  • Assuming that you are using Debian or Ubuntu, you need to install linux-manual package for this:

    $ sudo aptitude install linux-manual

    And you need to look for __copy_to_user or copy_to_user_fromio.
