Stores a word of data in user memory.
| uaddr64 | Specifies the address of user data. |
| w | Specifies the word to store. |
The suword64 kernel service stores a word of data at the specified address in user memory. It is provided so that system calls and device heads can safely access user data. The suword64 service ensures that the user has the appropriate authority to:
This service will operate correctly for both 32-bit and 64-bit user address spaces. The uaddr64 parameter is interpreted as being a non-remapped 32-bit address for the case where the current user address space is 32-bits. If the current user address space is 64-bits, then uaddr64 is treated as a 64-bit address.
The suword64 service should be called only while executing in kernel mode in the user process.
The suword64 kernel service can be called from the process environment only.
| 0 | Indicates successful completion. |
| -1 | Indicates a uaddr64 parameter that is not valid because: |
| The user does not have sufficient authority to access the data, or | |
| The address is not valid, or | |
| An I/O error occurs while referencing the user data. |
The suword64 kernel service is part of Base Operating System (BOS) Runtime.
