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.
