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

is equivalent to
strcmp(3).
