strxfrm(3) - Linux man page
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 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)).
Return Value
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.
Conforming to
SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89, C99.
Notes
In the "POSIX" or "C" locales strxfrm() is equivalent to copying the string with
strncpy(3).
