  * FUNCTION:    acpi_ut_copy_epackage_to_ipackage

- * PARAMETERS:  *internal_object   - Pointer to the object we are returning
- *              *Buffer            - Where the object is returned
- *              *space_used        - Where the length of the object is returned

+ *              internal_object     - Where the internal object is returned
  *
  * RETURN:      Status
  *
- * DESCRIPTION: This function is called to place a package object in a user
- *              buffer.  A package object by definition contains other objects.
- *
- *              The buffer is assumed to have sufficient space for the object.
- *              The caller must have verified the buffer length needed using the
- *              acpi_ut_get_object_size function before calling this function.
+ * DESCRIPTION: Copy an external package object to an internal package.
+ *              Handles nested packages.
