equal

Checks if the two given Files refer to the same file.

This function can be used with [method@Gio.File.hash] to insert [iface@Gio.File]s efficiently in a hash table.

Note that two Files that differ can still refer to the same file on the filesystem due to various forms of filename aliasing. For local files, this function essentially compares the file paths, so two [iface@Gio.File]s which point to different hard or soft links will not be considered equal, despite pointing to the same content.

For determining whether two files are hardlinked, see [const@Gio.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ID_FILE].

This call does no blocking I/O.

Parameters:

this	the first File
file2	the second File

Returns:

true if this and file2 are equal.
