Compares two absolute timestamps indicating the temporal order. The syntax is:
utc compare absolute_timestamp absolute_timestamp [-noinaccuracy]
Description

indeterminate. The operation accepts -noinaccuracy to ignore inaccuracies in comparisons, in this case a return of 0 (zero) indicates that the times are the same.
