Currently it says:
      rpm-vercomp versionA versionB
          Compare two RPM-format versions for equality.

The source code has the additional information:
"RPM compatible version comparison
  * If A is newer than B, return an integer > 0
  * If A and B are equal, return 0
  * If B is newer than A, retun an integer < 0"
(the spelling error has probably been there a while,
and no idea why function is named comp and not cmp)


The function  is called "rpmvercmp" in RPM,
and it is found in <rpm/rpmevr.h> nowadays...

http://rpm5.org/docs/api/group__rpmds.html
(it was re-implented using EVRcmp in 4.4.7)

PS. The return values are the same as for strcmp(3).
