The strcoll() function compares the two strings s1 and s2. It returns an integer less than, equal to, or
greater than zero if s1 is found, respectively, to be less than, to match, or be greater than s2. The
comparison is based on strings interpreted as appropriate for the program's current locale for category
LC_COLLATE. (See setlocale(3).)
