.TH strxfrm 3 .SH NAME strxfrm - string transformation .SH SYNOPSIS #include <string.h> size_t strxfrm(char *restrict s1, const char *restrict s2, size_t n) .SH DESCRIPTION The .BR strxfrm () function transforms the string pointed to by .I s2 and places the resulting string into the array pointed to by .IR s1 . The transformation is such that if the strcmp function is applied to two transformed strings, it returns a value greater than, equal to or less than zero, corresponding to the result of the strcoll function applied to the same two original strings. .PP No more than n characters shall be placed into the resulting array pointed to by .IR s1 , including the terminating null character. If n is zero, .I s1 is permitted to be a null pointer. .PP If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behaviour is undefined. .SH RETURN VALUE The .BR strxfrm () function shall return the length of the transformed string (not including the terminating null character). If the value returned is .I n or more, the contents of the array pointed to .I s1 are indeterminate. .SH STANDARDS ISO/IEC 9899:1999 Section 7.21.4.5
