MB_CUR_MAX(3) Linux Programmer's Manual MB_CUR_MAX(3) NAME MB_CUR_MAX - maximum length of a multibyte character in(1,8) the current locale(3,5,7) 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(1,8) the cur- rent locale. It is locale(3,5,7) 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.
