	2 .SH NAME
	3 zdiv - Calculate the quotient of two big integer
	4 .SH SYNOPSIS
	5 .nf

	10 .SH DESCRIPTION
	11 .B zdiv
	12 calculates the truncated quotient of a
	13 .I dividend
	14 and a
	15 .IR divisor ,
	16 and stores the result in
	17 .IR quotient .
	18 That is,
	19 .I quotient
	20 gets
	21 .I dividend
	22 /
	23 .IR divisor .
	24 .P
	25 It is safe to call
	26 .B zdiv
	27 with non-unique parameters.
	28 .SH RATIONALE
	29 .B zdiv
	30 rounds toward zero because this is what you expect
	31 from the C programming language and is most often
	32 what you want to do when rounding downwards. Note
	33 however, this is not the same things as floored
	34 division which is used in some programming languages
	35 and some libraries.
