NAME
       strcoll - compare two strings using the current locale

SYNOPSIS
       #include 

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

DESCRIPTION
       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 pro-
       gram'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.

CONFORMING TO
       SVID 3, BSD 4.3, ISO 9899

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