INTERFACE
#include <string.h>
int strcoll ( const char *s1, const char *s2 )
#include <xlocale.h>
int strcoll_l ( const char *s1, const char *s2, locale_t loc )DESCRIPTION
The strcoll function lexicographically compares the null-terminated strings s1 and s2 according to the current locale collation if any, otherwise call strcmp, and returns an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0, according as s1 is greater than, equal to, or less than s2.
While the strcoll function uses the current locale, the strcoll_l function may be passed a locale directly. See xlocale for more information.
Example 1
\code #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main() { // define two strings s, t and initialize s char s[10] = "testing", t[10]; // copy s to t strcpy(t, s); // test if s is identical to t if (!strcoll(s, t)) printf("The strings are identical."); else printf("The strings are different.");
return 0; } \endcode
Output:
The strings are identical.SEE ALSO
STANDARDS
The strcoll function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 ("ISO C90").
