NAME MB_LEN_MAX - maximum multibyte length of a character across all locales CONTENTS Synopsis Description Notes 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 >= 1. "CONFORMING TO" ANSI C, POSIX.1 NOTES The entities MB_LEN_MAX and sizeof(wchar_t) are totally unrelated.
