LDIV(3P)                  POSIX Programmer's Manual                 LDIV(3P)

PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
       the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       ldiv, lldiv — compute quotient and remainder of a long division

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <stdlib.h>
       ldiv_t ldiv(long numer, long denom);
       lldiv_t lldiv(long long numer, long long denom);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with
       the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described
       here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of
       POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.
       These functions shall compute the quotient and remainder of the
       division of the numerator numer by the denominator denom.  If the
       division is inexact, the resulting quotient is the long integer (for
       the ldiv() function) or long long integer (for the lldiv() function)
       of lesser magnitude that is the nearest to the algebraic quotient. If
       the result cannot be represented, the behavior is undefined;
       otherwise, quot * denom+rem shall equal numer.

RETURN VALUE         top

       The ldiv() function shall return a structure of type ldiv_t,
       comprising both the quotient and the remainder. The structure shall
       include the following members, in any order:
           long   quot;    /* Quotient */
           long   rem;     /* Remainder */
       The lldiv() function shall return a structure of type lldiv_t,
       comprising both the quotient and the remainder. The structure shall
       include the following members, in any order:
           long long   quot;    /* Quotient */
           long long   rem;     /* Remainder */
