23 28 .SH DESCRIPTION
24 -.sp
25 29 .LP
26 30 Both \fBstrcoll()\fR and \fBstrxfrm\fR(3C) provide for locale-specific string
27 31 sorting. \fBstrcoll()\fR is intended for applications in which the number of
28 32 comparisons per string is small. When strings are to be compared a number of
29 33 times, \fBstrxfrm\fR(3C) is a more appropriate function because the
30 34 transformation process occurs only once.
31 -.sp
32 35 .LP
36 +The \fBstrcoll_l()\fR function behaves
37 +identically to \fBstrcoll()\fR, except instead of operating in the current
38 +locale, it operates in the locale specified by \fIloc\fR.
39 +.LP
33 40 The \fBstrcoll()\fR function does not change the setting of \fBerrno\fR if
34 41 successful.
35 -.sp
36 42 .LP
37 43 Since no return value is reserved to indicate an error, an application wishing
38 44 to check for error situations should set \fBerrno\fR to 0, then call
39 45 \fBstrcoll()\fR, then check \fBerrno\fR.
40 46 .SH RETURN VALUES
41 -.sp
42 47 .LP
43 48 Upon successful completion, \fBstrcoll()\fR returns an integer greater than,
44 49 equal to, or less than zero in direct correlation to whether string \fIs1\fR is
45 50 greater than, equal to, or less than the string \fIs2\fR. The comparison is
46 -based on strings interpreted as appropriate to the program's locale for
51 +based on strings interpreted as appropriate to the locale
47 52 category \fBLC_COLLATE\fR (see \fBsetlocale\fR(3C)).
48 -.sp
49 53 .LP
50 54 On error, \fBstrcoll()\fR may set \fBerrno\fR, but no return value is reserved
51 55 to indicate an error.
