IMAXDIV(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual IMAXDIV(3P)
PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
imaxdiv -- return quotient and remainder
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.1-2008 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 con-
tain (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.
