STRXFRM(3)              NetBSD Library Functions Manual             STRXFRM(3)


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 trans-
     forms 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.
