     #include <string.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

     The strcoll() function lexicographically compares the nul-terminated strings s1 and s2 according to the current locale collation and returns
     an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0, according to whether s1 is greater than, equal to, or less than s2.

SEE ALSO

     bcmp(3), memcmp(3), setlocale(3), strcasecmp(3), strcmp(3), strxfrm(3)

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 pro-
       gram'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).
