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 (''). If the value returned is n or more, the contents of dest are indeterminate. ATTRIBUTES

strxfrm - string transformation SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h> size_t strxfrm(char *restrict s1, const char *restrict s2, size_t n); DESCRIPTION
The strxfrm() function shall transform the string pointed to by s2 and place the resulting string into the array pointed to by s1. The transformation is such that if strcmp() is applied to two transformed strings, it shall return a value greater than, equal to, or less than 0, corresponding to the result of strcoll() applied to the same two original strings. No more than n bytes are placed into the resulting array pointed to by s1, including the terminating null byte. If n is 0, s1 is permitted to be a null pointer. If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior is undefined. The strxfrm() function shall not change the setting of errno if successful. Since no return value is reserved to indicate an error, an application wishing to check for error situations should set errno to 0, then call strxfrm(), then check errno. RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, strxfrm() shall return the length of the transformed string (not including the terminating null byte). If the value returned is n or more, the contents of the array pointed to by s1 are unspecified. On error, strxfrm() may set errno but no return value is reserved to indicate an error. ERRORS
The strxfrm() function may fail if: EINVAL The string pointed to by the s2 argument contains characters outside the domain of the collating sequence. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
None. APPLICATION USAGE
The transformation function is such that two transformed strings can be ordered by strcmp() as appropriate to collating sequence informa- tion in the program's locale (category LC_COLLATE ). The fact that when n is 0 s1 is permitted to be a null pointer is useful to determine the size of the s1 array prior to making the trans- formation. RATIONALE
None. FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None. SEE ALSO
