strxfrm - string transformation
Standard C library (libc
, -lc
)
#include <string.h>
size_t strxfrm(char dest[restrict .n], const char src[restrict .n],
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 ('\0'). If the value returned is n
or
more, the contents of dest
are indeterminate.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
