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 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 ANSI X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C89'').


BUGS

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