+@deftypefn Extension int filename_cmp (const char *@var{s1}, const char *@var{s2})
+
+Return zero if the two paths @var{s1} and @var{s2} are equivalent.
+If not equivalent, the returned value is similar to what strcmp 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 path 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.
