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 >= 1.

CONFORMING TO
       ANSI C, POSIX.1

NOTES
       The  entities MB_LEN_MAX and sizeof(wchar_t) are totally unrelated. In
       the GNU libc, MB_LEN_MAX is typically 6 while sizeof(wchar_t) is 4.
