strcoll(3)                 Library Functions Manual                 strcoll(3)

NAME
       strcoll - compare two strings using the current locale

LIBRARY
       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <string.h>

       int strcoll(const char *s1, const char *s2);

DESCRIPTION
       The strcoll() function compares the two strings s1 and s2.  It returns
       an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if s1 is found,
       respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than s2.  The
       comparison is based on strings interpreted as appropriate for the
       program's current locale for category LC_COLLATE.  (See setlocale(3).)

RETURN VALUE
       The strcoll() function returns an integer less than, equal to, or
       greater than zero if s1 is found, respectively, to be less than, to
       match, or be greater than s2, when both are interpreted as appropriate
       for the current locale.
