NAME
strcoll - compare two strings using the current locale
SYNOPSIS

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.
