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

       div -- compute the quotient and remainder of an integer division

       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 _d_i_v() function shall compute the quotient and remainder of the
       division of the numerator _n_u_m_e_r by the denominator _d_e_n_o_m.  If the
       division is inexact, the resulting quotient is the integer of lesser
       magnitude that is the nearest to the algebraic quotient. If the result
       cannot be represented, the behavior is undefined; otherwise,
       _q_u_o_t*_d_e_n_o_m+_r_e_m shall equal _n_u_m_e_r.

RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEE
       The _d_i_v() function shall return a structure of type ddiivv__tt, comprising
       both the quotient and the remainder. The structure includes the
       following members, in any order:

           iinntt  qquuoott;;  //** qquuoottiieenntt **//
           iinntt  rreemm;;   //** rreemmaaiinnddeerr **//
