DESCRIPTION

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

RETURN VALUE

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