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.
NAME
       div - compute the quotient and remainder of an integer division
SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdlib.h>
       div_t div(int numer, int denom);

DESCRIPTION
       The div() function shall compute the  quotient  and  remainder  of  the
       division  of the numerator numer by the denominator denom. If the divi-
       sion is inexact, the resulting quotient is the integer of lesser magni-
       tude  that is the nearest to the algebraic quotient. If the result can-
       not be represented, the behavior is undefined; otherwise, quot*  denom+
       rem shall equal numer.
RETURN VALUE
       The  div()  function shall return a structure of type div_t, comprising
       both the quotient and the remainder. The structure includes the follow-
       ing members, in any order:

              int  quot;  /* quotient */
              int  rem;   /* remainder */
