6.10 wcscoll—locale-specific wide-character string compare

Synopsis

#include <wchar.h>
int wcscoll(const wchar_t *stra, const wchar_t * strb);

Description
wcscoll compares the wide-character string pointed to by stra to the wide-character string pointed to by strb, using an interpretation appropriate to the current LC_COLLATE state.

(NOT Cygwin:) The current implementation of wcscoll simply uses wcscmp and does not support any language-specific sorting.

Returns
If the first string is greater than the second string, wcscoll returns a number greater than zero. If the two strings are equivalent, wcscoll returns zero. If the first string is less than the second string, wcscoll returns a number less than zero.

Portability
wcscoll is ISO/IEC 9899/AMD1:1995 (ISO C).
