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 bytes of the trans-
formed string are placed in dest. The transformation is based on the program's current locale for category LC_COLLATE. (See setlo-
cale(3)).
RETURN VALUE
The strxfrm() function returns the number of bytes required to store the transformed string in dest excluding the terminating null byte
