       31 +The \fBwcscoll()\fR, \fBwcscoll_l()\fR, and \fBwscoll()\fR functions compare
       32 +the wide character
  30   33  string pointed to by \fIws1\fR to the wide character string pointed to by
  31      -\fIws2\fR, both interpreted as appropriate to the \fBLC_COLLATE\fR category of

       37 +These  functions do not change the setting of \fBerrno\fR if successful.
  38   38  .LP
  39   39  An application wanting to check for error situations should set \fBerrno\fR to
  40      -0 before calling \fBwcscoll()\fR or \fBwscoll()\fR.  If \fBerrno\fR is non-zero
       40 +0 before calling these functions.  If \fBerrno\fR is non-zero
  41   41  on return, an error has occurred.
       42 +.LP
       43 +The function \fBwcsoll_l()\fR behaves identically to \fBwcsoll\fR(), except
       44 +instead of operating in the current locale, it operates in the locale
       45 +specified by \fIloc\fR.

  48   51  than the wide character string pointed to by \fIws2\fR, when both are
  49      -interpreted as appropriate to the current locale. On error, \fBwcscoll()\fR and
