STRXFRM(3)                                          Linux Programmer's Manual                                         STRXFRM(3)



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(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 characters of the transformed string are placed in dest.  The transformation is based on the program's cur-
       rent 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  termi-
       nating '\0' character.  If the value returned is n or more, the contents of dest are indeterminate.

CONFORMING TO
       SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89, C99.

NOTES
       In the "POSIX" or "C" locales strxfrm() is equivalent to copying the string with strncpy(3).
