strcoll
Synopsis
#include <string.h>
int strcoll(const char *s1, const char *s2);
int strcoll_l(const char *s1, const char *s2, locale_t locale);
Status
Partially implemented
Conformance
IEEE Std 1003.1-2017
Description
The strcoll() and strcoll_l()
functions shall compare the string pointed to by s1 to the string pointed to by s2, both interpreted as appropriate
to the LC_COLLATE category of the current locale, or of the locale represented by locale, respectively.
The strcoll() and strcoll_l() functions shall not change the setting of errno if successful.
Since no return value is reserved to indicate an error, an application wishing to check for error situations should set
errno to 0, then call strcoll(), or strcoll_l() then check errno.
The behavior is undefined if the locale argument to strcoll_l() is the special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE
or is not a valid locale object handle.
Return value
Upon successful completion, strcoll() shall return an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0, according to
whether the string pointed to by s1 is greater than, equal to, or less than the string pointed to by s2 when both
are interpreted as appropriate to the current locale. On error, strcoll() may set errno, but no return value is
reserved to indicate an error.
Upon successful completion, strcoll_l() shall return an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0, according to
whether the string pointed to by s1 is greater than, equal to, or less than the string pointed to by s2 when both
are interpreted as appropriate to the locale represented by locale. On error, strcoll_l() may set errno, but no
return value is reserved to indicate an error.
Errors
These functions may fail if:
EINVAL- The s1 or s2 arguments contain characters outside the domain of the collating sequence.
