STRXFRM(3)

NAME
strxfrm - transform a string under locale

LIBRARY
libc

SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
size_t
strxfrm(char * restrict dst, const char * restrict src, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION
The strxfrm() function does something horrible. The idea 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 ansiC.

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