NAME

6       strxfrm - string transformation
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <string.h>
10
11       size_t strxfrm(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The  strxfrm() function transforms the src string into a form such that
15       the result of strcmp() on two strings that have been  transformed  with
16       strxfrm()  is  the  same  as the result of strcoll() on the two strings
17       before their transformation.  The first n characters of the transformed
18       string  are  placed  in  dest.  The transformation is based on the pro‐
19       gram's current locale for category LC_COLLATE.  (See setlocale(3)).
20

RETURN VALUE

22       The strxfrm() function returns the number of bytes  required  to  store
23       the  transformed  string in dest excluding the terminating `\0' charac‐
24       ter.  If the value returned is n or more,  the  contents  of  dest  are
25       indeterminate.

NOTES

31       In  the  "POSIX"  or "C" locales strxfrm() is equivalent to copying the
32       string with strncpy().
