strcoll(3C)                                                     strcoll(3C)

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 inter-
     preted as appropriate to the program's locale for category LCCOLLATE
     [see setlocale(3C)].

     Both strcoll() and strxfrm() allow locale-specific string sorting.
     strcoll() is intended for applications in which the number of com-
     parisons 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.
