!!NAME


strxfrm - string transformation
!!SYNOPSIS


__#include
__''dest''__, const char *__''src''__, size_t__ ''n''__);
__
!!DESCRIPTION


The __strxfrm()__ function transforms the ''src''
string into a form such that the result of __strcmp()__
on two strings that have been transformed with
__strxfrm()__ is the same as the result of
__strcoll()__ 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
setlocale(3)).
!!RETURN VALUE


The __strxfrm()__ function returns the number of bytes
required to store the transformed string in ''dest''
excluding the terminating `0' character. If the value
returned is ''n'' or more, the contents of ''dest''
are indeterminate.
!!CONFORMING TO


SVID 3, BSD 4.3, ISO 9899
!!NOTES


In the '''' or ''''
locales __strxfrm()__ is equivalent to copying the string
with __strncpy()__.
