NAME

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

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 the
       current locale.  It is locale dependent and therefore  not  a  compile-
       time constant.

RETURN VALUE

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

CONFORMING TO

       C99, POSIX.1-2001.
