Description
This function returns a result representing a comparison of the contents of handle  with the contents of handle. If  is zero, the contents of the handles are identical. If  is negative,  indicates the byte position at which handle   was found to be less than handle. If  is positive, it indicates the byte position at which handle   was found to be greater than handle. The first position in the handle is byte number 1 (not zero). Two handles which differ from the very first byte will return a positive or negative 1 as a result.
