Fn fubyte
Fetches a byte of data from the user-space address base
Fn fuword
Fetches a word of data from the user-space address base
Fn fuword16
Fetches 16 bits of data from the user-space address base
Fn fuword32
Fetches 32 bits of data from the user-space address base
Fn fuword64
Fetches 64 bits of data from the user-space address base
Fn fuswintr
Fetches a short word of data from the user-space address base This function is safe to call during an interrupt context.
