RETURNS If <<*<[a]>>> sorts lexicographically after <<*<[b]>>> (after both are converted to lowercase), <> returns a number greater than zero. If the two strings are equivalent, <> returns zero. If <<*<[a]>>> sorts lexicographically before <<*<[b]>>>, <> returns a number less than zero. PORTABILITY <> is in the Berkeley Software Distribution. <> requires no supporting OS subroutines. It uses tolower() from elsewhere in this library.
