NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       strxfrm - string transformation

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <string.h>

       size_t strxfrm(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       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    [Toc]    [Back]

       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.

       SVID 3, BSD 4.3, ISO 9899

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

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