NAME

13       div — compute the quotient and remainder of an integer division
14

SYNOPSIS

16       #include <stdlib.h>
17
18       div_t div(int numer, int denom);
19

DESCRIPTION

21       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with  the
22       ISO C  standard.  Any  conflict between the requirements described here
23       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This  volume  of  POSIX.1‐2008
24       defers to the ISO C standard.
25
26       The  div()  function  shall  compute  the quotient and remainder of the
27       division of the numerator numer by the denominator denom.  If the divi‐
28       sion is inexact, the resulting quotient is the integer of lesser magni‐
29       tude that is the nearest to the algebraic quotient. If the result  can‐
30       not   be   represented,   the   behavior   is   undefined;   otherwise,
31       quot*denom+rem shall equal numer.
32

RETURN VALUE

34       The div() function shall return a structure of type  div_t,  comprising
35       both the quotient and the remainder. The structure includes the follow‐
36       ing members, in any order:
37
38           int  quot;  /* quotient */
39           int  rem;   /* remainder */
