The basic collation conversion is done by \fBstrxfrm()\fR which terminates at NUL characters being a decent C routine. \fBcollate_xfrm()\fR handles embedded NUL characters gracefully. .PP The available locales depend on your operating system; try whether \&\f(CW\*(C`locale \-a\*(C'\fR shows them or man pages for "locale" or "nlsinfo" or the direct approach \f(CW\*(C`ls /usr/lib/nls/loc\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`ls /usr/lib/nls\*(C'\fR or \&\f(CW\*(C`ls /usr/lib/locale\*(C'\fR. Not all the locales that your vendor supports are necessarily installed: please consult your operating system's documentation and possibly your local system administration. The locale names are probably something like \f(CW\*(C`xx_XX.(ISO)?8859\-N\*(C'\fR or \&\f(CW\*(C`xx_XX.(ISO)?8859N\*(C'\fR, for example \f(CW\*(C`fr_CH.ISO8859\-1\*(C'\fR is the Swiss (CH) variant of French (fr), ISO Latin (8859) 1 (\-1) which is the Western European character set.
