oxicuda_memory/copy.rs
1//! Explicit memory copy operations between host and device.
2//!
3//! This module provides freestanding functions for copying data between
4//! host memory, device memory, and pinned host memory. Each function
5//! validates that the source and destination have matching lengths before
6//! issuing the underlying CUDA driver call.
7//!
8//! For simple cases, the methods on [`DeviceBuffer`]
9//! (e.g. [`DeviceBuffer::copy_from_host`]) are more
10//! ergonomic. These freestanding functions are useful when you want to be
11//! explicit about the direction of the transfer or when working with
12//! [`PinnedBuffer`] for async operations.
13//!
14//! # Length validation
15//!
16//! All functions return [`CudaError::InvalidValue`] if the element counts
17//! of source and destination do not match.
