strxfrm - string transformation

  #include <string.h>

  size_t strxfrm(char *restrict dest, const char *restrict src,
   size_t n);

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)).

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.

For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see *attributes*(7).
