/* Transform the memory area [S..S+N-1] to a memory area, in such a way that
   comparing (S1,N1) and (S2,N2) with memcoll() is equivalent to comparing
   amemxfrm(S1,N1) and amemxfrm(S2,N2) with memcmp2().
   The byte S[N] may be temporarily overwritten by this function, but will be
   restored before this function returns.
   The result of this function depends on the LC_COLLATE category of the
   current locale.
   If successful: If resultbuf is not NULL and the result fits into *lengthp
   bytes, it is put in resultbuf, and resultbuf is returned.  Otherwise, a
   freshly allocated string is returned.  In both cases, *lengthp is set to the
   length of the returned string.
   Upon failure, return NULL, with errno set.  */
