PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
       wcscoll - wide-character string comparison using collating information
SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>
       int wcscoll(const wchar_t *ws1, const wchar_t *ws2);

DESCRIPTION
       The wcscoll() function shall compare the wide-character string  pointed
       to  by  ws1 to the wide-character string pointed to by ws2, both inter-
       preted as appropriate to the LC_COLLATE category of the current locale.
       The wcscoll() function shall not change the setting of  errno  if  suc-
       cessful.
       An  application  wishing to check for error situations should set errno
       to 0 before calling wcscoll(). If errno is non-zero on return, an error
       has occurred.
RETURN VALUE
       Upon  successful  completion, wcscoll() shall return an integer greater
       than, equal to, or less than 0, according to whether the wide-character
       string  pointed  to  by ws1 is greater than, equal to, or less than the
       wide-character string pointed to by ws2, when both are  interpreted  as
       appropriate  to  the  current  locale.   On  error, wcscoll() shall set
       errno, but no return value is reserved to indicate an error.
ERRORS
       The wcscoll() function may fail if:
       EINVAL The ws1 or ws2 arguments contain  wide-character  codes  outside
              the domain of the collating sequence.

EXAMPLES
       None.
APPLICATION USAGE
       The  wcsxfrm()  and wcscmp() functions should be used for sorting large
       lists.
RATIONALE
       None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
