+.Sh NAME
+.Nm wcsxfrm
+.Nd transform a wide string under locale
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In wchar.h
+.Ft size_t
+.Fn wcsxfrm "wchar_t * restrict dst" "const wchar_t * restrict src" "size_t n"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn wcsxfrm
+function transforms a null-terminated wide character string pointed to by
+.Fa src
+according to the current locale collation order
+then copies the transformed string
+into
+.Fa dst .
+No more than
+.Fa n
+wide characters are copied into
+.Fa dst ,
+including the terminating null character added.
+If
+.Fa n
+is set to 0
+(it helps to determine an actual size needed
+for transformation),
+.Fa dst
+is permitted to be a
+.Dv NULL
+pointer.
+.Pp
+Comparing two strings using
+.Fn wcscmp
+after
+.Fn wcsxfrm
+is equivalent to comparing
+two original strings with
+.Fn wcscoll .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion,
+.Fn wcsxfrm
+returns the length of the transformed string not including
+the terminating null character.
+If this value is
+.Fa n
+or more, the contents of
+.Fa dst
+are indeterminate.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr setlocale 3 ,
+.Xr strxfrm 3 ,
+.Xr wcscmp 3 ,
+.Xr wcscoll 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn wcsxfrm
+function
+conforms to
+.St -isoC-99 .
+.Sh BUGS
+The current implementation of
+.Fn wcsxfrm
+only works in single-byte
+.Dv LC_CTYPE
+locales, and falls back to using
+.Fn wcsncpy
+in locales with extended character sets.
+.Pp
+Comparing two strings using
+.Fn wcscmp
+after
+.Fn wcsxfrm
+is
+.Em not
+always equivalent to comparison with
+.Fn wcscoll ;
+.Fn wcsxfrm
+only stores information about primary collation weights into
+.Fa dst ,
+whereas
+.Fn wcscoll
+compares characters using both primary and secondary weights.
