it seems that Texinfo's @equiv is the same symbol as TeX's \equiv.

\equiv in plain TeX typesets a symbol which consists of three parallel
lines.

I used to use that symbol to typeset congruence, ie.

        $ a \equiv b\ ({\rm mod}\ 6)$

was the statement which you'd express this way in C:

         a % 6 == b % 6

Maybe other people use it to express another kind of equivalence, but
it doesn't mean the same thing as ``='' or ``==''.

Have a nice day,
