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.  It is locale dependent and therefore not  a  compile-time
16       constant.
17

RETURN VALUE

19       An  integer  >=  1  and <= MB_LEN_MAX.  The value 1 denotes traditional
20       8-bit encoded characters.
