.Sh NAME
.Nm strxfrm
.Nd transform a string under locale
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In string.h
.Ft size_t
.Fn strxfrm "char * restrict dst" "const char * restrict src" "size_t n"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn strxfrm
function transforms a null-terminated string pointed to by
.Fa src
according to the current locale collation if any,
then copies the transformed string
into
.Fa dst .
Not more than
.Fa n
characters are copied into
.Fa dst ,
including the terminating null character added.
If
.Fa n
is set to 0
(it helps to determine an actual size needed
for transformation),
.Fa dst
is permitted to be a NULL pointer.
.Pp
Comparing two strings using
.Fn strcmp
after
.Fn strxfrm
is equal to comparing
two original strings with
.Fn strcoll .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion,
.Fn strxfrm
returns the length of the transformed string not including
the terminating null character.
If this value is
.Fa n
or more, the contents of
.Fa dst
are indeterminate.

.Xr setlocale 3 ,
.Xr strcmp 3 ,
.Xr strcoll 3 ,
.Xr wcsxfrm 3
.Sh STANDARDS
The
.Fn strxfrm
function
conforms to
.St -isoC .
