STRCOLL(3)                                          Linux Programmer's Manual                                         STRCOLL(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 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).
