What is the "sameq" or "same_quant" option in FFmpeg? Does it mean "same quality"?

What is the "sameq" option in FFmpeg? Does it mean "same quality"?

Often, I've seen FFmpeg commands using the sameq option, for example

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -sameq output.avi

What does this mean? Does it mean "same quality"? If not, what should I use instead?
