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.
