+@deftypefun int strverscmp (const char *@var{s1}, const char *@var{s2})
+The @code{strverscmp} function compares the string @var{s1} against
+@var{s2}, considering them as holding indices/version numbers. Return
+value follows the same conventions as found in the @code{strverscmp}
+function. In fact, if @var{s1} and @var{s2} contain no digits,
+@code{strverscmp} behaves like @code{strcmp}.
+
+Basically, we compare strings normally (character by character), until
+we find a digit in each string - then we enter a special comparison
+mode, where each sequence of digits is taken as a whole. If we reach the
+end of these two parts without noticing a difference, we return to the
+standard comparison mode. There are two types of numeric parts:
+"integral" and "fractional" (those begin with a '0'). The types
+of the numeric parts affect the way we sort them:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+integral/integral: we compare values as you would expect.
+
+@item
+fractional/integral: the fractional part is less than the integral one.
+Again, no surprise.
+
+@item
+fractional/fractional: the things become a bit more complex.
+If the common prefix contains only leading zeroes, the longest part is less
+than the other one; else the comparison behaves normally.
+@end itemize
+
+@smallexample
+strverscmp ("no digit", "no digit")
+ @result{} 0 // @r{same behavior as strcmp.}
+strverscmp ("item#99", "item#100")
+ @result{} <0 // @r{same prefix, but 99 < 100.}
+strverscmp ("alpha1", "alpha001")
+ @result{} >0 // @r{fractional part inferior to integral one.}
+strverscmp ("part1_f012", "part1_f01")
+ @result{} >0 // @r{two fractional parts.}
+strverscmp ("foo.009", "foo.0")
+ @result{} <0 // @r{idem, but with leading zeroes only.}
+@end smallexample
+
+This function is especially useful when dealing with filename sorting,
+because filenames frequently hold indices/version numbers.
