NAME
       MB_LEN_MAX - maximum multibyte length of a character across all locales


SYNOPSIS
       #include <limits.h>


DESCRIPTION
       The  MB_LEN_MAX  macro is the maximum number of bytes needed to represent a single wide character, in any
       of the supported locales.


RETURN VALUE
       A constant integer greater than zero.


CONFORMING TO
       POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, C99.


NOTES
       The entities MB_LEN_MAX and sizeof(wchar_t) are totally unrelated.  In glibc, MB_LEN_MAX is typically  16
       (6 in glibc versions earlier than 2.2), while sizeof(wchar_t) is 4.
