fstrcoll(3)
Description
The strcoll() function compares the two strings sting1 and string2. The comparison is based on strings
interpreted as appropriate for the program's current locale for category LC_CTYPE.
Name
fstrcoll - fuzzy comparison of two strings using the current locale
Return Value
The fstrcoll function returns a floating point value between 0.0 and FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL. A value of 0.0
means the strings are utterly un-alike. A value of FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL means the strings are identical. A
value of more than FSTRCMP_THRESHOLD (it lies between 0.0 and FSTRCMP_IDENTICAL) would be considered
"similar" by most people.
A value of FSTRCMP_ERROR (always negative) indicates a malloc(3) or mbstowcs(3) failure.
