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 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 aq\0aq 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).
