The +transformation shall be such that if \fIwcscmp\fP() is applied to +two transformed wide strings, it shall return a value greater than, +equal to, or less than 0, corresponding to the result of \fIwcscoll\fP() +applied to the +same two original wide-character strings. No more than \fIn\fP wide-character +codes shall be placed into the resulting array +pointed to by \fIws1\fP, including the terminating null wide-character +code. If \fIn\fP is 0, \fIws1\fP is permitted to be a +null pointer. If copying takes place between objects that overlap, +the behavior is undefined. +.LP +The +\fIwcsxfrm\fP() function shall not change the setting of \fIerrno\fP +if successful. +.LP +Since no return value is reserved to indicate an error, an application +wishing to check for error situations should set +\fIerrno\fP to 0, then call \fIwcsxfrm\fP(), then check \fIerrno\fP. +.SH RETURN VALUE +.LP +The \fIwcsxfrm\fP() function shall return the length of the transformed +wide-character string (not including the terminating +null wide-character code). If the value returned is \fIn\fP or more, +the contents of the array pointed to by \fIws1\fP are +unspecified. +.LP +On +error, the \fIwcsxfrm\fP() function may set \fIerrno\fP, but no return +value is reserved to indicate an error. +.SH ERRORS +.LP +The \fIwcsxfrm\fP() function may fail if: +.TP 7 +.B EINVAL +The wide-character string pointed to by \fIws2\fP contains wide-character +codes outside the domain of the collating sequence. +.sp +.LP +\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP +.SH EXAMPLES +.LP +None. +.SH APPLICATION USAGE +.LP +The transformation function is such that two transformed wide-character +strings can be ordered by \fIwcscmp\fP() as appropriate to collating +sequence information in the program's locale (category +\fILC_COLLATE ).\fP +.LP +The fact that when \fIn\fP is 0 \fIws1\fP is permitted to be a null +pointer is useful to determine the size of the \fIws1\fP +array prior to making the transformation. +.SH RATIONALE +.LP +None. +.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS +.LP +None. +.SH SEE ALSO +.LP +\fIwcscmp\fP(), \fIwcscoll\fP(), the Base Definitions volume of +IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001, \fI<wchar.h>\fP +.SH COPYRIGHT +Portions of this text are reprinted and reproduced in electronic form +from IEEE Std 1003.1, 2003 Edition, Standard for Information Technology +-- Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), The Open Group Base +Specifications Issue 6, Copyright (C) 2001-2003 by the Institute of +Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc and The Open Group.
