NAME
strxfrm - string transformation
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
size_t strxfrm(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n);
DESCRIPTION
The strxfrm() function transforms the src string into a
form such that the result of strcmp() on two strings that have
been transformed with strxfrm() is the same as the result of
strcoll() on the two strings before their transformation. The
first n characters of the transformed string are placed in
dest. The transformation is based on the program's current
locale for category LC_COLLATE. (See setlocale(3)).
RETURN VALUE
The strxfrm() function returns the number of bytes required to
store the transformed string in dest excluding the terminating
`\0' character. If the value returned is n or more, the
contents of dest are indeterminate.
CONFORMING TO
SVID 3, BSD 4.3, ISO 9899
NOTES
The Linux C Library currently hasn't implemented the complete
POSIX-collating.
In the "POSIX" or "C" locales strxfrm() is equivalent to
copying the string with strncpy().
