NAME

ldiv - compute quotient and remainder of a long division

 SYNOPSIS

#include <stdlib.h>

ldiv_t ldiv(long int numer, long int denom);

 DESCRIPTION

The ldiv() function computes 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 of lesser magnitude that is the nearest to the algebraic quotient. If the result cannot be represented, the behaviour is undefined; otherwise, quot * denom + rem will equal numer.

 RETURN VALUE

The ldiv() function returns a structure of type ldiv_t, comprising both the quotient and the remainder. The structure includes the following members, in any order:

long int	quot;	/* quotient */
long int	rem;	/* remainder */

 ERRORS

No errors are defined.

 EXAMPLES

None.

 APPLICATION USAGE
