NAME

6       div - compute the quotient and remainder of an integer division
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <stdlib.h>
10
11       div_t div(int numer, int denom);
12
13

DESCRIPTION

15       The  div()  function  shall  compute  the quotient and remainder of the
16       division of the numerator numer by the denominator denom. If the  divi‐
17       sion is inexact, the resulting quotient is the integer of lesser magni‐
18       tude that is the nearest to the algebraic quotient. If the result  can‐
19       not  be represented, the behavior is undefined; otherwise, quot* denom+
20       rem shall equal numer.
21

RETURN VALUE

23       The div() function shall return a structure of type  div_t,  comprising
24       both the quotient and the remainder. The structure includes the follow‐
25       ing members, in any order:
26
27
28              int  quot;  /* quotient */
29              int  rem;   /* remainder */
