<h3>STRCOLL(3) Linux Programmer's Manual STRCOLL(3)
</h3>
<h3>NAME
</h3> strcoll - compare two strings using the current locale
<h3>SYNOPSIS
</h3> #include <string.h>
int strcoll(const char *s1, const char *s2);
<h3>DESCRIPTION
</h3> 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 cur-
rent locale for category LC_COLLATE. (See setlocale(3)).
<h3>RETURN VALUE
</h3> 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.
<h3>CONFORMING TO
</h3> SVID 3, BSD 4.3, ISO 9899
<h3>NOTES
</h3> The Linux C Library currently hasn't implemented the com-
plete POSIX-collating.
In the "POSIX" or "C" locales strcoll() is equivalent to
strcmp().
