IMAXDIV(3P)

💖 IMAXDIV(3P) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the POSIX Programmer's Manual — this little cutie right here is imaxdiv(3P) and she is, no cap, giving "math but make it one trip." 🌸

🌈 PROLOG 🌈

so like, heads up before we even start: this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ — so if you're on Linux, go consult the corresponding Linux manual page for the actual Linux behavior. OR, plot twist, the interface might not even be implemented on Linux at all. 💀 not me finding that out the hard way.

✨ NAME ✨

imaxdiv — return quotient and remainder. that's it, that's the whole job. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <inttypes.h>

imaxdiv_t imaxdiv(intmax_t numer, intmax_t denom);

look at her. two intmax_ts in, one imaxdiv_t out. iconic.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. and like — any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard? not intentional, bestie, nobody's trying to start drama. This volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard. periodt.

The imaxdiv() function shall compute numer / denom and numer % denom in a single operation. one shot. one vibe. you get both, together, like a matching set. 🫶

---

💜 RETURN VALUE 💜

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

⚠️ and now the scary part: if either part of the result cannot be represented, the behavior is undefined. no cap. no promises. it's giving chaos and we are NOT here for it. 😭

---

🌟 ERRORS 🌟

No errors are defined. she simply does not do errors. unbothered. ✨
