Transforms the null-terminated byte string pointed to bysrc into the implementation-defined form such that comparing two transformed strings withstrcmp gives the same result as comparing the original strings withstrcoll, in the current C locale.
The firstcount characters of the transformed string are written to destination, including the terminating null character, and the length of the full transformed string is returned, excluding the terminating null character.
The behavior is undefined if thedest array is not large enough. The behavior is undefined ifdest andsrc overlap.
Ifcount is0, thendest is allowed to be a null pointer.

The correct length of the buffer that can receive the entire transformed string is1+strxfrm(NULL, src,0)
This function is used when making multiple locale-dependent comparisons using the same string or set of strings, because it is more efficient to usestrxfrm to transform all the strings just once, and subsequently compare the transformed strings withstrcmp.
| dest | - | pointer to the first element of the array where the transformed string will be written |
| src | - | pointer to the first character of a null-terminated byte string to transform |
| count | - | maximum number of characters to be written |
The length of the transformed string, not including the terminating null-character.
#include <stdio.h>#include <string.h>#include <locale.h> int main(void){setlocale(LC_COLLATE,"cs_CZ.iso88592"); constchar*in1="hrnec";char out1[1+strxfrm(NULL, in1,0)]; strxfrm(out1, in1,sizeof out1); constchar*in2="chrt";char out2[1+strxfrm(NULL, in2,0)]; strxfrm(out2, in2,sizeof out2); printf("In the Czech locale: ");if(strcmp(out1, out2)<0)printf("%s before %s\n",in1, in2);elseprintf("%s before %s\n",in2, in1); printf("In lexicographical comparison: ");if(strcmp(in1, in2)<0)printf("%s before %s\n",in1, in2);elseprintf("%s before %s\n",in2, in1); }
Possible output:
In the Czech locale: hrnec before chrtIn lexicographical comparison: chrt before hrnec
