.SH NAME
remquo, remquof, remquol \- remainder functions
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
\fB#include <math.h>
.br
.sp
double remquo(double\fP \fIx\fP\fB, double\fP \fIy\fP\fB, int *\fP\fIquo\fP\fB);
.br
float remquof(float\fP \fIx\fP\fB, float\fP \fIy\fP\fB, int *\fP\fIquo\fP\fB);
.br
long double remquol(long double\fP \fIx\fP\fB, long double\fP \fIy\fP\fB,
int *\fP\fIquo\fP\fB);

.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fIremquo\fP(), \fIremquof\fP(), and \fIremquol\fP() functions
shall compute the same remainder as the \fIremainder\fP(), \fIremainderf\fP(),
and \fIremainderl\fP() functions, respectively. In the object pointed
to by \fIquo\fP, they store
a value whose sign is the sign of \fIx\fP/ \fIy\fP and whose magnitude
is congruent modulo 2\fI**n\fP to
the magnitude of the integral quotient of \fIx\fP/ \fIy\fP, where
\fIn\fP is an implementation-defined integer greater than or
equal to 3.
.LP
An application wishing to check for error situations should set \fIerrno\fP
to zero and call
\fIfeclearexcept\fP(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions.
On return, if \fIerrno\fP is non-zero or
\fIfetestexcept\fP(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW)
is non-zero, an error has occurred.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
These functions shall return \fIx\fP REM \fIy\fP.
.LP
If
\fIx\fP or \fIy\fP is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
.LP
If \fIx\fP is \(+-Inf or \fIy\fP is zero and the other argument is
non-NaN, a domain error shall occur, and either a NaN
(if supported), or an implementation-defined value shall be returned.
.SH ERRORS
.LP
These functions shall fail if:
.TP 7
Domain\ Error
The \fIx\fP argument is \(+-Inf, or the \fIy\fP argument is \(+-0
and the other argument is non-NaN. 
.LP
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero,
then \fIerrno\fP shall be set to [EDOM]. If the
integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero,
then the invalid floating-point exception shall be raised.
.sp
.LP
\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
None.
.SH APPLICATION USAGE
.LP
On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and (math_errhandling
& MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of
each other, but at least one of them must be non-zero.
.SH RATIONALE
.LP
These functions are intended for implementing argument reductions
which can exploit a few low-order bits of the quotient. Note
that \fIx\fP may be so large in magnitude relative to \fIy\fP that
an exact representation of the quotient is not practical.
.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
.LP
None.
