The 27 transformation is such that if \fBstrcmp\fR(3C) is applied to two transformed 28 strings, it returns a value greater than, equal to or less than \fB0\fR, 29 corresponding to the result of \fBstrcoll\fR(3C) applied to the same two 30 original strings. No more than \fIn\fR bytes are placed into the resulting 31 array pointed to by \fIs1\fR, including the terminating null byte. If \fIn\fR 32 is \fB0\fR, \fIs1\fR is permitted to be a null pointer. If copying takes place 33 between objects that overlap, the behavior is undefined. 34 .sp 35 .LP 36 The \fBstrxfrm()\fR function does not change the setting of \fBerrno\fR if 37 successful. 38 .sp 39 .LP 40 Since no return value is reserved to indicate an error, an application wishing 41 to check for error situations should set \fBerrno\fR to 0, then call 42 \fBstrxfrm()\fR, then check \fBerrno\fR. 43 .sp 44 .LP 45 The \fBstrxfrm_l()\fR functions behaves identically to the function 46 \fBstrxfrm()\fR, except instead of operating in the current environment it 47 operates in the environment specified by the argument \fIloc\fR. 48 .SH RETURN VALUES 49 .sp 50 .LP 51 Upon successful completion, \fBstrxfrm()\fR returns the length of the 52 transformed string (not including the terminating null byte). If the value 53 returned is \fIn\fR or more, the contents of the array pointed to by \fIs1\fR 54 are indeterminate. 55 .sp 56 .LP 57 On error, \fBstrxfrm()\fR may set \fBerrno\fR but no return value is reserved 58 to indicate the error. 59 .SH USAGE 60 .sp 61 .LP 62 The transformation function is such that two transformed strings can be ordered 63 by \fBstrcmp\fR(3C) as appropriate to collating sequence information in the 64 program's locale (category \fBLC_COLLATE\fR). 65 .sp 66 .LP 67 The fact that when \fIn\fR is \fB0\fR, \fIs1\fR is permitted to be a null 68 pointer, is useful to determine the size of the \fIs1\fR array prior to making 69 the transformation. 70 .SH EXAMPLES 71 .LP 72 \fBExample 1 \fRA sample of using the \fBstrxfm()\fR function. 73 .sp 74 .LP 75 The value of the following expression is the size of the array needed to hold 76 the transformation of the string pointed to by \fIs\fR. 77 78 .sp 79 .in +2 80 .nf 81 1 + strxfrm(NULL, s, 0); 82 .fi 83 .in -2 84 85 .SH FILES 86 .sp 87 .ne 2 88 .na 89 \fB\fB/usr/lib/locale/\fIlocale\fR/\fIlocale\fR.so.*\fR\fR 90 .ad 91 .sp .6 92 .RS 4n 93 \fBLC_COLLATE\fR database for \fIlocale\fR 94 .RE 95 96 .SH ATTRIBUTES 97 .sp 98 .LP 99 See \fBattributes\fR(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: 100 .sp 101 102 .sp 103 .TS 104 box; 105 c | c 106 l | l . 107 ATTRIBUTE TYPE ATTRIBUTE VALUE 108 _ 109 CSI Enabled 110 _ 111 Interface Stability Standard 112 _ 113 MT-Level MT-Safe with exceptions 114 .TE 115 116 .sp 117 .LP 118 The \fBstrxfrm()\fR function can be used safely in a multithreaded application, 119 as long as \fBsetlocale\fR(3C) is not being called to change the locale. 120 .SH SEE ALSO 121 .sp 122 .LP 123 \fBlocaledef\fR(1), \fBsetlocale\fR(3C), \fBstrcmp\fR(3C), \fBstrcoll\fR(3C), 124 \fBwscoll\fR(3C), \fBattributes\fR(5), \fBenviron\fR(5), \fBstandards\fR(5)
