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

NAME         top

       strcoll - compare two strings using the current locale

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <string.h>

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

DESCRIPTION         top

       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         top

       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         top

       SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89, C99.

NOTES         top

       In the "POSIX" or "C" locales strcoll() is equivalent to strcmp(3).
