strcoll - compare two strings using the current locale
#include <string.h>
int strcoll(const char *s1, const char *s2);
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_COLLATE. (See
setlocale(3).)
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.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
