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

NAME         top

       strxfrm - string transformation

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <string.h>
       size_t strxfrm(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION         top

       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         top

       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 returned is n or more, the contents of dest are
       indeterminate.
