## Function/Subroutine Documentation

### complex function cladiv (complex x, complex y)

**CLADIV** performs complex division in real arithmetic, avoiding unnecessary overflow.

**Purpose:**

```
!>
!> CLADIV := X / Y, where X and Y are complex.  The computation of X / Y
!> will not overflow on an intermediary step unless the results
!> overflows.
!>
```

**Parameters**

*X*

```
!>          X is COMPLEX
!>
```

*Y*

```
!>          Y is COMPLEX
!>          The complex scalars X and Y.
!>
```
