Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

lldiv():

_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;

or cc -std=c99

The div() function computes the value numerator/denominator and returns the quotient and remainder in a structure named div_t that contains two integer members (in unspecified order) named quot and rem. The quotient is rounded toward zero. The result satisfies quot*denominator+rem = numerator.

The ldiv(), lldiv(), and 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 quot and rem of the same type as the function arguments.

The div_t (etc.) structure.

Multithreading (see pthreads(7))

The div(), ldiv(), lldiv(), and imaxdiv() functions are thread-safe.

SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89. C99. The functions lldiv() and imaxdiv() were added in C99.

After

        div_t q = div(-5, 3);

the values q.quot and q.rem are -1 and -2, respectively.
