<h3 class="section">5.21 <code>strcoll</code>&mdash;locale-specific character string compare</h3>
<p><a name="index-strcoll-389"></a><strong>Synopsis</strong>
<pre class="example"> #include &lt;string.h&gt;
int strcoll(const char *<var>stra</var>, const char * <var>strb</var>);
</pre>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
<code>strcoll</code> compares the string pointed to by <var>stra</var> to
the string pointed to by <var>strb</var>, using an interpretation
appropriate to the current <code>LC_COLLATE</code> state.
<p><br>
<strong>Returns</strong><br>
If the first string is greater than the second string,
<code>strcoll</code> returns a number greater than zero. If the two
strings are equivalent, <code>strcoll</code> returns zero. If the first
string is less than the second string, <code>strcoll</code> returns a
number less than zero.
<p><br>
<strong>Portability</strong><br>
<code>strcoll</code> is ANSI C.
<p><code>strcoll</code> requires no supporting OS subroutines.
