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.
