IMAXDIV(3POSIX)

💖 IMAXDIV(3POSIX) 💖

okay bestie, this is a page from the POSIX Programmer's Manual — literally the IMAXDIV(3POSIX) one — and we're gonna get you all the way through it. no gatekeeping here 🫶

🌸 PROLOG 🌸

Real talk before we 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 tea on Linux behavior. Or, plot twist, the interface may not be implemented on Linux at all. 💀

✨ NAME ✨

imaxdiv — return quotient and remainder 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <inttypes.h>

imaxdiv_t imaxdiv(intmax_t numer, intmax_t denom);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. And like, if there's any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard? That's unintentional, fr fr. This volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard. periodt.

Now the actual function, bestie: the imaxdiv() function shall compute numer / denom and numer % denom in a single operation. two-for-one, iconic behavior 👑

---

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

The imaxdiv() function shall return a structure of type imaxdiv_t, and that structure is giving both the quotient and the remainder, together, as a little bundle 🎁

The structure shall contain — in either order, so don't come for me about the layout — the members quot (the quotient) and rem (the remainder), and each of those has type intmax_t.

⚠️ If either part of the result cannot be represented, the behavior is undefined. not a vibe. proceed with caution, bestie 😭
