STRXFRM(3)                                                              Linux Programmer's Manual                                                             STRXFRM(3)

NAME
       strxfrm - string transformation

SYNOPSIS
       #include <string.h>

       size_t strxfrm(char *restrict dest, const char *restrict 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  transfor‐
       mation 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 ('\0').  If the value re‐
       turned is n or more, the contents of dest are indeterminate.
