MB_CUR_MAX(3)              Library Functions Manual              MB_CUR_MAX(3)

NAME
       MB_CUR_MAX - maximum length of a multibyte character in the current
       locale

LIBRARY
       Standard C library (libc)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdlib.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The MB_CUR_MAX macro defines an integer expression giving the maximum
       number of bytes needed to represent a single wide character in the
       current locale.  This value is locale dependent and therefore not a
       compile-time constant.

RETURN VALUE
       An integer in the range [1, MB_LEN_MAX].  The value 1 denotes
       traditional 8-bit encoded characters.

STANDARDS
       C11, POSIX.1-2008.

HISTORY
       C99, POSIX.1-2001.
