strxfrm - string transformation
#include <string.h>
size_t strxfrm(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n);
The strxfrm() function transforms the src string into a form such that the
result of strcmp(3) on two strings that have been transformed with strxfrm()
is the same as the result of strcoll(3) on the two strings before their
transformation. The first n characters of the transformed string are placed
in dest. The transformation is based on the program's current locale for
category LC_COLLATE. (See setlocale(3)).
The strxfrm() function returns the number of bytes required to store the
transformed string in dest excluding the terminating '\0' character. If the
value returned is n or more, the contents of dest are indeterminate.

In the "POSIX" or "C" locales strxfrm() is equivalent to copying the string
with strncpy(3).
