MB_CUR_MAX(3)                       Linux Programmer's Manual                       MB_CUR_MAX(3)



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

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.  It 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.

CONFORMING TO
       C99, POSIX.1-2001.
