| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| These |
| functions compute the remainder of dividing |
| .I x |
| by |
| .IR y . |
| The return value is |
| \fIx\fP\-\fIn\fP*\fIy\fP, |
| where |
| .I n |
| is the value |
| .IR "x\ /\ y" , |
| rounded to the nearest integer. |
| If the absolute value of |
| \fIx\fP\-\fIn\fP*\fIy\fP |
| is 0.5, |
| .I n |
| is chosen to be even. |
| .PP |
| These functions are unaffected by the current rounding mode (see |
| .BR fenv (3)). |
| .PP |
| The |
| .BR drem () |
| function does precisely the same thing. |
| .SH RETURN VALUE |
| On success, these |
| functions return the floating-point remainder, |
| \fIx\fP\-\fIn\fP*\fIy\fP. |
| If the return value is 0, it has the sign of |
| .IR x . |
| .PP |
| If |
| .I x |
| or |
| .I y |
| is a NaN, a NaN is returned. |
| .PP |
| If |
| .I x |
| is an infinity, |
| and |
| .I y |
| is not a NaN, |
| a domain error occurs, and |
| a NaN is returned. |
| .PP |
| If |
| .I y |
| is zero, |
| .\" FIXME . Instead, glibc gives a domain error even if x is a NaN |
| and |
| .I x |
| is not a NaN, |
| .\" Interestingly, remquo(3) does not have the same problem. |
| a domain error occurs, and |
| a NaN is returned. |
| .SH ERRORS |
| See |
| .BR math_error (7) |
| for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred |
| when calling these functions. |
| .PP |
| The following errors can occur: |
| .TP |
| Domain error: \fIx\fP is an infinity and \fIy\fP is not a NaN |
| .I errno |
| is set to |
| .BR EDOM |
| (but see BUGS). |
| An invalid floating-point exception |
| .RB ( FE_INVALID ) |
| is raised. |
| .IP |
| These functions do not set |
| .IR errno |
| for this case. |
| .TP |
| Domain error: \fIy\fP is zero\" [XXX see bug above] and \fIx\fP is not a NaN |
| .I errno |
| is set to |
| .BR EDOM . |
| An invalid floating-point exception |
| .RB ( FE_INVALID ) |
| is raised. |

| .SH CONFORMING TO |
| .\" IEC 60559. |
| The functions |
| .BR remainder (), |
| .BR remainderf (), |
| and |
| .BR remainderl () |
| are specified in C99, POSIX.1-2001, and POSIX.1-2008. |
| .PP |
| The function |
| .BR drem () |
| is from 4.3BSD. |
| The |
| .I float |
| and |
| .I "long double" |
| variants |
| .BR dremf () |
| and |
| .BR dreml () |
| exist on some systems, such as Tru64 and glibc2. |
| Avoid the use of these functions in favor of |
| .BR remainder () |
| etc. |
| .SH BUGS |
| Before glibc 2.15, |
| .\" http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6779 |
| the call |
| .PP |
| remainder(nan(""), 0); |
| .PP |
| returned a NaN, as expected, but wrongly caused a domain error. |
| Since glibc 2.15, a silent NaN (i.e., no domain error) is returned. |
| .PP |
| Before glibc 2.15, |
| .\" http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6783 |
| .I errno |
| was not set to |
| .BR EDOM |
| for the domain error that occurs when |
| .I x |
| is an infinity and |
| .I y |
| is not a NaN. |
| .I errno was not set |
| .SH EXAMPLE |
| The call "remainder(29.0, 3.0)" returns \-1. |
