remquo(3) Library Functions Manualremquo(3)remquo, remquof, remquol - remainder and part of quotient
Math library (libm,-lm)
#include <math.h>double remquo(doublex, doubley, int *quo);float remquof(floatx, floaty, int *quo);long double remquol(long doublex, long doubley, int *quo); Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (seefeature_test_macros(7)):remquo(),remquof(),remquol(): _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
These functions compute the remainder and part of the quotient upon division ofx byy. A few bits of the quotient are stored via thequo pointer. The remainder is returned as the function result. The value of the remainder is the same as that computed by theremainder(3) function. The value stored via thequo pointer has the sign ofx / y and agrees with the quotient in at least the low order 3 bits. For example,remquo(29.0, 3.0) returns -1.0 and might store 2. Note that the actual quotient might not fit in an integer.
On success, these functions return the same value as the analogous functions described inremainder(3). Ifx ory is a NaN, a NaN is returned. Ifx is an infinity, andy is not a NaN, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned. Ify is zero, andx is not a NaN, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
Seemath_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions. The following errors can occur: Domain error:x is an infinity ory is 0, and the other argument is not a NaN. An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised. These functions do not seterrno.
