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  upper  bound  for  the number of bytes needed to represent a single wide
       character, across all locales.


RETURN VALUE
       A constant integer greater than zero.


CONFORMING TO
       C99, POSIX.1-2001.


NOTES
       The entities MB_LEN_MAX and sizeof(wchar_t) are totally unrelated.  In glibc, MB_LEN_MAX is  typically  6
       while sizeof(wchar_t) is 4.
