@ -16,16 +16,11 @@ Compare the files named \var{f1} and \var{f2}, returning \code{True} if
they seem equal, \code{False} otherwise.
Unless \var{shallow} is given and is false, files with identical
\function{os.stat()} signatures are taken to be equal. If
\var{use_statcache} is given and is true,
\function{statcache.stat()} will be called rather then
\function{os.stat()}; the default is to use \function{os.stat()}.
\function{os.stat()} signatures are taken to be equal.
\versionchanged[\var{use_statcache} is obsolete and ignored.]{2.3}
Files that were compared using this function will not be compared again
unless their \function{os.stat()} signature changes. Note that using
\var{use_statcache} true will cause the cache invalidation mechanism to
fail --- the stale stat value will be used from \refmodule{statcache}'s
cache.
unless their \function{os.stat()} signature changes.
Note that no external programs are called from this function, giving it
portability and efficiency.
