NAME

strxfrm — transform a string under locale

LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

#include <string.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

The idea of strxfrm() is to “un-localize” a string: the function transforms src, storing the result in dst, such that strcmp(3) on transformed strings returns what strcoll(3) on the original untransformed strings would return.

SEE ALSO

bcmp(3), memcmp(3), strcasecmp(3), strcmp(3), strcoll(3)

STANDARDS

The strxfrm() function conforms to ANSI X3.159-1989 (“ANSI C89”).

BUGS

Since locales are not fully implemented on NetBSD, strxfrm() just returns a copy of the original string.
