  It’s a TeX primitive.  From the TeXbook, chapter 20:

        * \ifdim<dimen1><relation><dimen2>  (compares two dimensions)
        This is like \ifnum, but it compares two <dimen> values.  For
        example, to test whether the value of \hsize exceeds 100pt, you
        can say ‘\ifdim\hsize>100pt’.

  The definition of \ifnum, right above it, states:

        * \ifnum<number1><relation><number2>  (compares two integers)
        The <relation> must be either ‘<’ or ‘=’ or ‘>’.  The two
        integer numbers are compared to each other in the usual way, and
        the result is true or false accordingly.

  Best,

                Arthur
