imaxdiv - Man Page

return quotient and remainder

Prolog

This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

Synopsis

#include <inttypes.h>

imaxdiv_t imaxdiv(intmax_t numer, intmax_t denom);

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.1-2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

The imaxdiv() function shall compute numer / denom and numer % denom in a single operation.

Return Value

The imaxdiv() function shall return a structure of type imaxdiv_t, comprising both the quotient and the remainder. The structure shall contain (in either order) the members quot (the quotient) and rem (the remainder), each of which has type intmax_t.

If either part of the result cannot be represented, the behavior is undefined.
