strxfrm — transform a string under locale

library “libc”

#include <string.h>

size_t
strxfrm(char * restrict dst, const char * restrict src, size_t n);

The idea of () 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.

bcmp(3), memcmp(3), strcasecmp(3), strcmp(3), strcoll(3)

The strxfrm() function conforms to ANSI X3.159-1989 (“ANSI C89”).

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