DIV(3)                    Linux Programmer's Manual                   DIV(3)

NAME         top

       div,  ldiv,  lldiv,  imaxdiv  -  compute quotient and remainder of an
       integer division

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <stdlib.h>
       div_t div(int numerator, int denominator);
       ldiv_t ldiv(long numerator, long denominator);
       lldiv_t lldiv(long long numerator, long long denominator);
       #include <inttypes.h>
       imaxdiv_t imaxdiv(intmax_t numerator, intmax_t denominator);
   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
       lldiv():
           _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L

DESCRIPTION         top

       The div() function computes the value numerator/denominator and
       returns the quotient and remainder in a structure named div_t that
       contains two integer members (in unspecified order) named quot and
       rem.  The quotient is rounded toward zero.  The result satisfies
       quot*denominator+rem = numerator.
       The ldiv(), lldiv(), and imaxdiv() functions do the same, dividing
       numbers of the indicated type and returning the result in a structure
       of the indicated name, in all cases with fields quot and rem of the
       same type as the function arguments.

RETURN VALUE         top

       The div_t (etc.) structure.

CONFORMING TO         top

       POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, C89, C99, SVr4, 4.3BSD.  The functions
       lldiv() and imaxdiv() were added in C99.

EXAMPLE         top

       After
               div_t q = div(-5, 3);
       the values q.quot and q.rem are -1 and -2, respectively.
