NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     strcoll - string collation

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <string.h>

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

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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)].

     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.
