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.
