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.
