NAME
strxfrm —
transform a string under
locale
SYNOPSIS
#include
<string.h>
size_t
strxfrm(char
*dst, const char
*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), setlocale(3), strcasecmp(3), strcmp(3), strcoll(3)
STANDARDS
The strxfrm() function conforms to
ANSI X3.159-1989
(“ANSI C89”).
HISTORY
The strxfrm() function first appeared in
4.3BSD-Reno.
BUGS
Since locales are not fully implemented on
OpenBSD, strxfrm() just
returns a copy of the original string.
