+.SH NAME
+wcscoll,
+wcscoll_l
+\(em wide-character string comparison using collating information
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <wchar.h>
+.P
+int wcscoll(const wchar_t *\fIws1\fP, const wchar_t *\fIws2\fP);
+int wcscoll_l(const wchar_t *\fIws1\fP, const wchar_t *\fIws2\fP,
+ locale_t \fIlocale\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+For
+\fIwcscoll\fR():
+The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
+ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
+ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
+.P
+The
+\fIwcscoll\fR()
+and
+\fIwcscoll_l\fR()
+functions shall compare the wide-character string pointed to by
+.IR ws1
+to the wide-character string pointed to by
+.IR ws2 ,
+both interpreted as appropriate to the
+.IR LC_COLLATE
+category of the current locale,
+or the locale represented by
+.IR locale ,
+respectively.
+.P
+The
+\fIwcscoll\fR()
+and
+\fIwcscoll_l\fR()
+functions shall not change the setting of
+.IR errno
+if successful.
+.P
+An application wishing to check for error situations should set
+.IR errno
+to 0 before calling
+\fIwcscoll\fR()
+or
+\fIwcscoll_l\fR().
+If
+.IR errno
+is non-zero on return, an error has occurred.
+.P
+The behavior is undefined if the
+.IR locale
+argument to
+\fIwcscoll_l\fR()
+is the special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale
+object handle.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+Upon successful completion,
+\fIwcscoll\fR()
+and
+\fIwcscoll_l\fR()
+shall return an integer greater than, equal to, or less than 0,
+according to whether the wide-character string pointed to by
+.IR ws1
+is greater than, equal to, or less than the wide-character string
+pointed to by
+.IR ws2 ,
+when both are interpreted as appropriate to the current locale,
+or to the locale represented by
+.IR locale ,
+respectively. On error,
+\fIwcscoll\fR()
+and
+\fIwcscoll_l\fR()
+shall set
+.IR errno ,
+but no return value is reserved to indicate an error.
+.SH ERRORS
+These functions may fail if:
+.TP
+.BR EINVAL
+The
+.IR ws1
+or
+.IR ws2
+arguments contain wide-character codes outside the domain of the
+collating sequence.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+The
+\fIwcsxfrm\fR()
+and
+\fIwcscmp\fR()
+functions should be used for sorting large lists.
+.SH RATIONALE
+None.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
