34 Return zero if the two file names @var{s1} and @var{s2} are equivalent.
35 If not equivalent, the returned value is similar to what @code{strcmp}
36 would return. In other words, it returns a negative value if @var{s1}
37 is less than @var{s2}, or a positive value if @var{s2} is greater than
40 This function does not normalize file names. As a result, this function
41 will treat filenames that are spelled differently as different even in
42 the case when the two filenames point to the same underlying file.
43 However, it does handle the fact that on DOS-like file systems, forward
44 and backward slashes are equal.
