Definition and Usage
The strcoll() function compares two strings.
The comparison of the strings may vary depending on the locale settings (A<a or A>a).
Note: The strcoll() is case-sensitive but not binary-safe.
Note: If the current locale is C or POSIX, this function works the same way as strcmp().
