STRCOLL(3C-SVR4)    RISC/os Reference Manual     STRCOLL(3C-SVR4)



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 LC_COLLATE [see
     setlocale(3C-SVR4)].

     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.
