| SYNOPSIS |
#include <lcstring.h> char *xltable(char table[256], char *source, char *target);
| DESCRIPTION |
xltable
builds a translation table that you can use later as an argument to the
memxlt
or
strxlt
function.
The argument
table
is a 256-character array, in which the translation table is to be built.
The second argument (
source
) is a string
of characters that the table is to translate, and the third argument (
target
) is a string containing the characters
to which the source characters are to be translated, in the same order. The
source
and
target
strings should contain the same number of characters; if they do not,
the extra characters of the longer string are ignored.
You can also specify a table address of 0. In this
case,
xltable
builds the table in a static
area and returns the address of this area. This area may be overlaid by the
next call to
xltable
,
strscntb
, or
memscntb
.
The table built by
xltable
translates any character not present in the
source
string to itself, so these characters are not changed when using
the table.
| RETURN VALUE |
xltable
returns the address of the table (the same value as that of the first argument).
| EXAMPLE |
See strxlt and memxlt for examples.
