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