NAME MB_CUR_MAX - maximum length of a multibyte character in the current locale CONTENTS Synopsis Description 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. "CONFORMING TO" ANSI C, POSIX.1 "SEE ALSO" MB_LEN_MAX(3), mblen(3), mbtowc(3), mbstowcs(3), wctomb(3), wcstombs(3)
