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

NAME
       strcoll - compare two strings using the current locale

SYNOPSIS
       #include <string.h>

       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 program's current locale for category  LC_COL‐
       LATE.  (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.
