- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf
- #include <stdlib.h>

- .SH DESCRIPTION
- 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\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
- .P
- These functions shall compute the quotient and remainder of the
- division of the numerator
- .IR numer
- by the denominator
- .IR denom .
- If the division is inexact, the resulting quotient is the
- .BR long
- integer (for the
- \fIldiv\fR()
- function) or
- .BR "long long"
- integer (for the
- \fIlldiv\fR()
- function) of lesser magnitude that is the nearest to the algebraic
- quotient. If the result cannot be represented, the behavior is
- undefined; otherwise, \fIquot\fP\ *\ \fIdenom\fP+\fIrem\fP shall equal
- .IR numer .
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- The
- \fIldiv\fR()
- function shall return a structure of type
- .BR ldiv_t ,
- comprising both the quotient and the remainder. The structure shall
- include the following members, in any order:
- .sp
- .RS 4
- .nf
- long quot; /* Quotient */
- long rem; /* Remainder */
- .fi
- .P
- .RE
