    From Hul Tytus@21:1/5 to All on Tue Aug 1 21:21:44 2023
    Lewin Edwards in his dosfs file system uses the ldiv() functions shown below:
    sector = ldiv(offset, SECTOR_SIZE).quot and
    offset = ldiv(offset, SECTOR_SIZE).rem
    Anybody know how this is declared or, maybe, defined?

    Seriously? Does every C compiler you use come without a manual?

    How else could you possibly find it hard to discover the declaration and semantics of a 33+ years old C standard library function like that?

    It's a standard C library function. You can see its definition in the C standards (draft versions of all modern C standards are freely available online). A good reference for C is the "cppreference" site, with the
    exact page here being:

    <https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/numeric/math/div>

    The "div" functions are almost never used these days - any decent
    compiler will do as good or better when the code is expressed simply as:

    sector = offset / SECTOR_SIZE;
    offset = offset % SECTOR_SIZE;

    But the "div" functions made sense with older and poorer compilers.

    Thanks Grant. I'd never seen those before and assumed they were Lewin's creation.
