/*
FUNCTION
<<div>>---divide two integers

INDEX
	div

SYNOPSIS
	#include <stdlib.h>
	div_t div(int <[n]>, int <[d]>);

DESCRIPTION
Divide
@tex
$n/d$,
@end tex
@ifnottex
<[n]>/<[d]>,
@end ifnottex
returning quotient and remainder as two integers in a structure <<div_t>>.

RETURNS
The result is represented with the structure

. typedef struct
. {
.  int quot;
.  int rem;
. } div_t;

where the <<quot>> field represents the quotient, and <<rem>> the
remainder.  For nonzero <[d]>, if `<<<[r]> = div(<[n]>,<[d]>);>>' then
<[n]> equals `<<<[r]>.rem + <[d]>*<[r]>.quot>>'.

To divide <<long>> rather than <<int>> values, use the similar
function <<ldiv>>.

PORTABILITY
<<div>> is ANSI.

No supporting OS subroutines are required.

	 * The ANSI standard says that |r.quot| <= |n/d|, where
	 * n/d is to be computed in infinite precision.  In other
	 * words, we should always truncate the quotient towards
	 * 0, never -infinity or +infinity.
	 *
	 * Machine division and remainer may work either way when
	 * one or both of n or d is negative.  If only one is
	 * negative and r.quot has been truncated towards -inf,
	 * r.rem will have the same sign as denom and the opposite
	 * sign of num; if both are negative and r.quot has been
	 * truncated towards -inf, r.rem will be positive (will
	 * have the opposite sign of num).  These are considered
	 * `wrong'.
	 *
	 * If both are num and denom are positive, r will always
	 * be positive.
	 *
	 * This all boils down to:
	 *	if num >= 0, but r.rem < 0, we got the wrong answer.
	 * In that case, to get the right answer, add 1 to r.quot and
	 * subtract denom from r.rem.
	 *      if num < 0, but r.rem > 0, we also have the wrong answer.
	 * In this case, to get the right answer, subtract 1 from r.quot and
	 * add denom to r.rem.
