uimove(9) from NetBSD with minor changes for OpenBSD. We should
consider changing the size parameter to uiomove() from int to size_t.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm uiomove
+.Nd move data described by a struct uio
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <sys/systm.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn uiomove "caddr_t buf" "int n" "struct uio *uio"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+function copies up to
+.Fa n
+bytes between the kernel-space address pointed
+to by
+.Fa buf
+and the addresses described by
+.Fa uio ,
+which may be in user-space or kernel-space.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa uio
+argument is a pointer to a
+.Fa struct uio
+as defined by
+.Aq Pa sys/uio.h :
+.Bd -literal
+struct uio {
+ struct iovec *uio_iov; /* pointer to array of iovecs */
+ int uio_iovcnt; /* number of iovecs in array */
+ off_t uio_offset; /* offset into file this uio corresponds to */
+ size_t uio_resid; /* residual i/o count */
+ enum uio_seg uio_segflg;
+ enum uio_rw uio_rw;
+ struct proc *uio_procp;/* process if UIO_USERSPACE */
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+A
+.Fa struct uio
+typically describes data in motion.
+Several of the fields described below reflect that expectation.
+.Bl -tag -width uio_xxxxxx
+.It uio_iov
+Pointer to array of
+.Fa struct iovecs :
+.Bd -literal
+struct iovec {
+ void *iov_base; /* Base address. */
+ size_t iov_len; /* Length. */
+};
+.Ed
+.It uio_iovcnt
+The number of iovecs in the array.
+.It uio_offset
+An offset into the corresponding object.
+.It uio_resid
+The amount of data remaining to be transferred.
+.It uio_segflg
+A flag indicating whether the space described is in user-space
+(UIO_USERSPACE) or kernel-space (UIO_SYSSPACE).
+.It uio_rw
+A flag indicating whether date should be read into the space
+(UIO_READ) or written from the space (UIO_WRITE).
+.It uio_procp
+A pointer to the process whose data area is described by the
+structure, or NULL if the area is in kernel-space.
+.El
+.Pp
+The value of
+.Fa uio->uio_rw
+controls whether
+.Nm
+copies data from
+.Fa buf
+to
+.Fa uio
+or vice versa.
+.Pp
+The lesser of
+.Fa n
+or
+.Fa uio->resid
+bytes are copied.
+.Pp
+.Nm
+changes fields of the structure pointed to by
+.Fa uio ,
+such that
+.Fa uio->uio_resid
+is decremented by the amount of data moved,
+.Fa uio->uio_offset
+is incremented by the same amount, and the array of iovecs is adjusted
+to point that much farther into the region described.
+This allows multiple calls to
+.Nm
+to easily be used to fill or drain the region of data.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Nm
+returns 0 on success or EFAULT if a bad address is encountered.
