strxfrm#
Synopsis#
#include <string.h>
size_t strxfrm(char *restrict s1, const char *restrict s2, size_t n);
size_t strxfrm_l(char *restrict s1, const char *restrict s2, size_t n, locale_t locale);
Status#
Partially implemented
Conformance#
IEEE Std 1003.1-2017
Description#
The strxfrm()
and strxfrm_l()
functions shall transform the string pointed to by s2 and place the resulting string into the array pointed to by
s1. The transformation is such that if strcmp()
is applied to two transformed
strings, it shall return a value greater than, equal to, or less than 0
, corresponding to the result of strcoll()
or strcoll_l()
, respectively, applied to the same two original strings
with the same locale. No more than n bytes are
placed into the resulting array pointed to by s1, including the terminating NUL
character. If n is 0
, s1 is
permitted to be a null pointer. If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior is undefined.
The
strxfrm()
and strxfrm_l()
functions shall not change the setting of errno
if successful.
Since no return value is reserved to indicate an error, an application wishing to check for error situations should set
errno
to 0
, then call strxfrm()
or strxfrm_l()
, then check errno
.
The
behavior is undefined if the locale argument to strxfrm_l()
is the special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE
or is not
a valid locale object handle.
Return value#
Upon successful completion, strxfrm()
and strxfrm_l()
shall return the length of the transformed string
(not including the terminating NUL
character).
If the value returned is n or more, the contents of the array pointed to by s1 are unspecified.
On error, strxfrm()
and strxfrm_l()
may
set errno
, but no return value is reserved to indicate an error.
Errors#
These functions may fail if:
EINVAL
- The string pointed to by the s2 argument contains characters outside the domain of the collating sequence.
