NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdlib.h>

       ldiv_t ldiv(long numer, long denom);
       lldiv_t lldiv(long long numer, long long denom);

DESCRIPTION

       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

       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 */
