NAME

       SP_equal_group_ids - checks amount of data ready to be read

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sp.h>
       int SP_equal_group_ids( group_id g1, group_id g2);

DESCRIPTION

       SP_equal_group_ids  allows  an application to determine if two specific
       instantiations of a group are  identical.  This  is  not  just  if  the
       memberships  are  identical,  but  rather  whether  the  two  group ids
       represent the exact same group membership view at  the  same  point  in
       time  in  the  history  of  the group.  SP_equal_group_ids returns true
       (i.e. not 0) if the two group ids passed to it are equal.   It  returns
       false if they are not equal.

RETURN VALUES

       Returns  true  (not  0  )  if  they  are  equal  and  false if they are
       different.

BUGS

       None.
