Hi, GAP members

I want to know the exact purpose for which `\=` i.e equality operation is
used in GAP. Does `\=` checks for the mathematical equality or does it
check for structural equality (of given objects) or some other type of
equality of objects in GAP that i am not aware of?
It will be very helpful if you provide the examples indicating the behavior
(mathematical or structural), particularly either with `FreeGroup` or
`Permutation Groups`.

Thanks
