Manpages - MB_CUR_MAX.3

MB_CUR_MAX - maximum length of a multibyte character in the current locale

  #include <stdlib.h>

The MB_CUR_MAX macro defines an integer expression giving the maximum number of bytes needed to represent a single wide character in the current locale. This value is locale dependent and therefore not a compile-time constant.

An integer in the range [1, *MB_LEN_MAX*]. The value 1 denotes traditional 8-bit encoded characters.

POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, C99.

*MB_LEN_MAX*(3), *mblen*(3), *mbstowcs*(3), *mbtowc*(3), *wcstombs*(3), *wctomb*(3)
