SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

13       The MB_CUR_MAX macro defines an integer expression giving  the  maximum
14       number of bytes needed to represent a single wide character in the cur‐
15       rent locale.  This value is locale dependent and therefore not  a  com‐
16       pile-time constant.
17

RETURN VALUE

19       An  integer  in  the range [1, MB_LEN_MAX].  The value 1 denotes tradi‐
20       tional 8-bit encoded characters.
