mblk_t * copymsg(bp) register mblk_t *bp;
The copymsg utility uses the copyb utility to copy the message blocks contained in the message pointed to by the bp parameter to newly allocated message blocks. It then links the new message blocks to form the new message.
| bp | Contains a pointer to the message to be copied. |
On successful compilation, the copymsg utility returns a pointer to the new message. Otherwise, it returns a null value.
This utility is part of STREAMS Kernel Extensions.
