Thanks for noting.  I changed it to:

 -- Function: void gcry_mpi_div (gcry_mpi_t Q, gcry_mpi_t R,
          gcry_mpi_t DIVIDEND, gcry_mpi_t DIVISOR, int ROUND)

     Q = DIVIDEND / DIVISOR, R = DIVIDEND \bmod DIVISOR.  Q and R may be
     passed as 'NULL'.  ROUND is either negative for floored division
     (rounds towards the next lower integer) or zero for truncated
     division (rounds towards zero).


Shalom-Salam,

   Werner
