                     12: strcoll  lexicographically  compares  the  string pointed  to  by
                     13: string1 with  one pointed to by string2.   Comparison ends when a
                     14: null character is read.
                     15: 
                     16: strcoll compares the  two strings character by character until it
                     17: finds a pair of characters  that are not identical.  It returns a
                     18: number less than zero if  the character in string1 is less (i.e.,
                     19: occurs earlier  in the character  table) than its  counterpart in
                     20: string2.  It returns a  number greater than zero if the character
                     21: in string1 is greater (i.e., occurs later in the character table)
                     22: than its  counterpart in string2.  If no  characters are found to
                     23: differ, then the strings are identical and strcoll returns zero.

                     31: The string-comparison routines  strcoll, strcmp, and strncmp dif-
                     32: fer from  the memory-comparison routine memcmp  in that they com-
                     33: pare strings rather than  regions of memory.  They stop when they
                     34: encounter a null character, but memcmp does not.
                     35: 
                     36: The  ANSI Standard's  description of  strcoll emphasizes  that it
                     37: uses  locale-specific information,  as set  by the  ANSI function
                     38: setlocale,  to perform string  comparisons.  The  COHERENT system
                     39: has not  yet implement ANSI locales;  therefore, strcoll does not
                     40: differ  significantly from  strcmp.   It is  included to  support
                     41: programs written in ANSI C.
