 * Name: binfmt_copyargv
 *
 * Description:
 *   In the kernel build, the argv list will likely lie in the caller's
 *   address environment and, hence, be inaccessible when we switch to the
 *   address environment of the new process address environment.  So we
 *   do not have any real option other than to copy the callers argv[] list.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   bin      - Load structure
 *   argv     - Argument list
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   Zero (OK) on success; a negated errno value on failure.

 * Returned Value:
 *   This is a NuttX internal function so it follows the convention that
 *   0 (OK) is returned on success and a negated errno is returned on
 *   failure.
