Name of the first attribute type that you want to compare.
Name of the second attribute type that you want to compare.
One of the following values:
• 0 - Compare the types as is.
• 1 - Compare only the base names of the types (for example, if the type
is cn;lang-en, the function compares only the cn part of the type).
• 2 - Ignore any options in the second type that are not in the first type.
For example, if the first type is cn and the second type is
cn;lang-en, the lang-en option in the second type is not part of
the first type. In this case, the function considers the two types to be
the same.
