strxfrm - string transformation
#include <string.h>
size_t strxfrm(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n);
The strxfrm()
function transforms the src string into a form such that the result of
strcmp(3)
on two strings that have been transformed with strxfrm() is the
same as the result of strcoll(3)
on the two strings before their transformation.
The first n bytes 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)
).
The strxfrm() function returns the number of bytes required
to store the transformed string in dest excluding the terminating null
byte (aq\0aq). If the value returned is n or more, the contents of dest are
indeterminate.
SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89, C99.
In the POSIX or C
locales strxfrm() is equivalent to copying the string with strncpy(3)
.
