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.
