The quotient is rounded toward zero. The result satisfies .IR "quot*denominator+rem\ =\ numerator" . .P The .BR ldiv (), .BR lldiv (), and .BR imaxdiv () functions do the same, dividing numbers of the indicated type and returning the result in a structure of the indicated name, in all cases with fields .I quot and .I rem of the same type as the function arguments. .SH RETURN VALUE The .I div_t (etc.) structure. .SH ATTRIBUTES For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see .BR attributes (7). .TS allbox; lbx lb lb l l l.
