+.SH NAME
+strcoll,
+strcoll_l
+\(em string comparison using collating information
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <string.h>
+.P
+int strcoll(const char *\fIs1\fP, const char *\fIs2\fP);
+int strcoll_l(const char *\fIs1\fP, const char *\fIs2\fP,
+ locale_t \fIlocale\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+For
+\fIstrcoll\fR():
+The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
+ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
+ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
+.P
+The
+\fIstrcoll\fR()
+and
+\fIstrcoll_l\fR()
+functions shall compare the string pointed to by
+.IR s1
+to the string pointed to by
+.IR s2 ,
+both interpreted as appropriate to the
+.IR LC_COLLATE
+category of the current locale,
+or of the locale represented by
+.IR locale ,
+respectively.
+.P
+The
+\fIstrcoll\fR()
+and
+\fIstrcoll_l\fR()
+functions shall not change the setting of
+.IR errno
+if successful.
+.P
+Since no return value is reserved to indicate an error, an
+application wishing to check for error situations should set
+.IR errno
+to 0, then call
+\fIstrcoll\fR(),
+or
+\fIstrcoll_l\fR()
+then check
+.IR errno .
+.P
+The behavior is undefined if the
+.IR locale
+argument to
+\fIstrcoll_l\fR()
+is the special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale
+object handle.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+Upon successful completion,
+\fIstrcoll\fR()
+shall return an integer greater than, equal to, or less than
+0, according to whether the string pointed to by
+.IR s1
+is greater than, equal to, or less than the string pointed to by
+.IR s2
+when both are interpreted as appropriate to the current locale.
+On error,
+\fIstrcoll\fR()
+may set
+.IR errno ,
+but no return value is reserved to indicate an error.
+.P
+Upon successful completion,
+\fIstrcoll_l\fR()
+shall return an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0,
+according to whether the string pointed to by
+.IR s1
+is greater than, equal to, or less than the string pointed to by
+.IR s2
+when both are interpreted as appropriate to the locale represented by
+.IR locale .
+On error,
+\fIstrcoll_l\fR()
+may set
+.IR errno ,
+but no return value is reserved to indicate an error.
+.SH ERRORS
+These functions may fail if:
+.TP
+.BR EINVAL
+The
+.IR s1
+or
+.IR s2
+arguments contain characters outside the domain of the collating
+sequence.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.SS "Comparing Nodes"
+.P
+The following example uses an application-defined function,
+\fInode_compare\fR(),
+to compare two nodes based on an alphabetical ordering of the
+.IR string
+field.
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+
+#include <string.h>
+\&...
+struct node { /* These are stored in the table. */
+ char *string;
+ int length;
+};
+\&...
+int node_compare(const void *node1, const void *node2)
+{
+ return strcoll(((const struct node *)node1)->string,
+ ((const struct node *)node2)->string);
+}
+\&...
+.fi
+.P
+.RE
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+The
+\fIstrxfrm\fR()
+and
+\fIstrcmp\fR()
+functions should be used for sorting large lists.
+.SH RATIONALE
+None.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
