STRXFRM(3)            DragonFly Library Functions Manual            STRXFRM(3)

NAME
     strxfrm -- transform a string under locale

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <string.h>

     size_t
     strxfrm(char * restrict dst, const char * restrict src, size_t n);

     size_t
     strxfrm_l(char * restrict dst, const char *restrict src, size_t n,
         locale_t loc);

DESCRIPTION
     The strxfrm() function transforms a null-terminated string pointed to by
     src according to the current locale collation if any, then copies the
     transformed string into dst.  Not more than n characters are copied into
     dst, including the terminating null character added.  If n is set to 0
     (it helps to determine an actual size needed for transformation), dst is
     permitted to be a NULL pointer.

     Comparing two strings using strcmp() after strxfrm() is equal to
     comparing two original strings with strcoll().

     strxfrm_l() does the same, however takes an explicit locale rather than
     the global locale.

RETURN VALUES
     Upon successful completion, strxfrm() and strxfrm_l() return the length
     of the transformed string not including the terminating null character.
     If this value is n or more, the contents of dst are indeterminate.

SEE ALSO
     setlocale(3), strcmp(3), strcoll(3), wcsxfrm(3)

STANDARDS
     The strxfrm() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (``ISO C90'').  The
     strxfrm_l() function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1'').
