SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
int strcoll(const char *s1, const char *s2);
DESCRIPTION
The
strcoll()
function compares the two strings

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.
