.TH FETCHI 2
.UC
.SH NAME
fetchi \- fetch from user I-space
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B fetchi(addr)
.br
.B int *addr;
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Fetchi
fetches the word at
.I addr
from user I-space.
This system call is required
on machines with separate instruction
and data spaces because the
.I mfpi
instruction reads from
D-space if the current
and previous modes in the
program status word are
both user.
.SH ERRORS
.I Fetchi
will fail if:
.TP 20
[EFAULT]
.I Addr
points to an address not in the process's allocated instruction space.
.SH ASSEMBLER

(local = 58., fetchi = 8.)
(addr in r0)

.B \&.data

.SH BUGS
This is a kludge and exists only to circumvent an alleged
security feature on some DEC processors.
