# isEqualTo(const OSData *)

Tests the equality of two OSData objects.

## Declaration

```occ
virtual bool isEqualTo(
 const OSData *aDataObj) const; 
```

## Parameters

- `aDataObj`: The OSData object being compared against the receiver.

## Return Value

Return Value true if the two OSData objects are equivalent, false otherwise.

## Overview

Overview Two OSData objects are considered equal if they have same length and if their byte buffers hold the same contents.
