MB_LEN_MAX(3)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						     MB_LEN_MAX(3)

NAME

       MB_LEN_MAX - maximum multibyte length of a character across all locales

SYNOPSIS

       #include <limits.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The MB_LEN_MAX macro is the upper bound for the number of bytes needed to represent a single wide character, across all locales.

RETURN VALUE

       A constant integer greater than zero.

CONFORMING TO

       C99, POSIX.1-2001.

NOTES

       The entities MB_LEN_MAX and sizeof(wchar_t) are totally unrelated.  In glibc, MB_LEN_MAX is typically 6 while sizeof(wchar_t) is 4.

SEE ALSO

       MB_CUR_MAX(3)

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.	This value 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

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