Compares two paths lexicographically.

1) Checks whetherlhs andrhs are equal. Equivalent to!(lhs< rhs)&&!(rhs< lhs).

2) Checks whetherlhs andrhs are not equal. Equivalent to!(lhs== rhs).

3) Checks whetherlhs is less thanrhs. Equivalent tolhs.compare(rhs)<0.

4) Checks whetherlhs is less than or equal torhs. Equivalent to!(rhs< lhs).

5) Checks whetherlhs is greater thanrhs. Equivalent torhs< lhs.

6) Checks whetherlhs is greater than or equal torhs. Equivalent to!(lhs< rhs).

[edit]Parameters

lhs, rhs

the paths to compare

[edit]Return value

true if the corresponding comparison yields,false otherwise.

[edit]Exceptions

noexcept specification:

noexcept

[edit]Notes

Path equality and equivalence have different semantics.

In the case of equality, as determined byoperator==, only lexical representations are compared. Therefore,path("a")== path("b") is nevertrue.

In the case of equivalence, as determined byequivalent(), it is checked whether two pathsresolve to the same file system object. Thusequivalent("a","b") will returntrue if the paths resolve to the same file.
