NAME
      strcoll - string collation

SYNOPSIS
      #include <string.h>

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

DESCRIPTION
      strcoll returns an integer greater than, equal to, or less than zero in
      direct correlation to whether string s1 is greater than, equal to, or
      less than the string s2.  The comparison is based on strings interpreted
      as appropriate to the program's locale for category LCCOLLATE [see
      setlocale(3C)].

      Both strcoll and strxfrm provide for locale-specific string sorting.
      strcoll is intended for applications in which the number of comparisons
      per string is small.  When strings are to be compared a number of times,
      strxfrm is a more appropriate utility because the transformation process
      occurs only once.
