NAME

       strcoll - compare two strings using the current locale

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.

CONFORMING TO

       SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89, C99.

NOTES

       In the POSIX or C locales strcoll() is equivalent to strcmp(3).
