.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
Compare two ranks for equality, honoring wildcard semantics. The two ranks
are considered equal if their values are identical, or if \fIeither\fP value is
\fBPMIX_RANK_WILDCARD\fP, in which case the wildcard matches any rank.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.sp
Returns \fBtrue\fP if the ranks are equal, or if either rank is
\fBPMIX_RANK_WILDCARD\fP; returns \fBfalse\fP otherwise.
.SH NOTES
.sp
\fBPMIx_Check_rank\fP is an OpenPMIx convenience routine and is the backing
implementation of the \fBPMIX_CHECK_RANK\fP macro.
