       locale

DESCRIPTION

       number of bytes needed to represent a single wide character in the cur
       rent locale.  It is locale dependent and therefore not  a  compile-time
       constant.

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