+void zdivmod(z_t \fIquotient\fP, z_t \fIremainder\fP, z_t \fIdividend\fP, z_t \fIdivisor\fP);

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B zdivmod
+calculates the quotient and the remainder of a
+.I dividend
+and a
+.IR divisor ,
+and stores the quotient in
+.I quotient
+and the remainder in
+.IR remainder .
+That is,
+.I quotient
+gets
+.I dividend
+/
+.I divisor
+and
+.I remainder
+gets
+.I dividend
+Mod
+.IR divisor .
+.P
+It is safe to call
+.B zdivmod
+with non-unique parameters,
+except it is
