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 >= 1 and <= MB_LEN_MAX. The value 1 denotes traditional 8-bit encoded characters.
