Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
remainder():
_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
|| _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500
|| /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
remainderf(), remainderl():
_ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
|| /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
drem(), dremf(), dreml():
/* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
These functions compute the remainder of dividing x by y. The return
value is x-n*y, where n is the value x / y, rounded to the nearest
integer. If the absolute value of x-n*y is 0.5, n is chosen to be
even.
These functions are unaffected by the current rounding mode (see
fenv(3)).
The drem() function does precisely the same thing.
On success, these functions return the floating-point remainder,
x-n*y. If the return value is 0, it has the sign of x.
If x or y is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is an infinity, and y is not a NaN, a domain error occurs, and a
NaN is returned.
If y is zero, and x is not a NaN, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is
returned.
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an
error has occurred when calling these functions.
The following errors can occur:
Domain error: x is an infinity and y is not a NaN
errno is set to EDOM (but see BUGS). An invalid floating-
point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.
These functions do not set errno for this case.
Domain error: y is zero
errno is set to EDOM. An invalid floating-point exception
(FE_INVALID) is raised.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).

The functions remainder(), remainderf(), and remainderl() are
specified in C99, POSIX.1-2001, and POSIX.1-2008.
The function drem() is from 4.3BSD. The float and long double
variants dremf() and dreml() exist on some systems, such as Tru64 and
glibc2. Avoid the use of these functions in favor of remainder()
etc.
Before glibc 2.15, the call
remainder(nan(""), 0);
returned a NaN, as expected, but wrongly caused a domain error.
Since glibc 2.15, a silent NaN (i.e., no domain error) is returned.
Before glibc 2.15, errno was not set to EDOM for the domain error
that occurs when x is an infinity and y is not a NaN. errno was not
set
The call "remainder(29.0, 3.0)" returns -1.
