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  characters  of  the
       transformed  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 ''  charac-
       ter.  If the value returned is n or more, the contents of dest are indeterminate.

CONFORMING TO
       SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89, C99.

NOTES
       In the "POSIX" or "C" locales strxfrm() is equivalent to copying the string with strncpy(3).
