I wish I could find the POSIX docs for this, but sadly they don't seem to

strcoll(3) case sensitivity?

2005-03-28 Thread Palle Girgensohn
Hi!
On many unix systems, strcoll(3) is case insensitive for locales other than 
C/POSIX. Not so for FreeBSD. Just curious, is this a design decision or 
simply the lack of time and efforts to write the code for it?

Regards,
Palle
