{MB_CUR_MAX}

Integer expression whose value is the maximum number of bytes in a character specified by the current locale.

The following data types are defined through typedef:

div_t

structure type returned by the div() function

ldiv_t

structure type returned by the ldiv() function

lldiv_t

structure type returned by the lldiv() function

size_t

as described in <stddef.h>

wchar_t

as described in <stddef.h>

See div(3C), which covers div(), ldiv(), and lldiv(), and stddef.h(3HEAD).

In addition, the symbolic names and macros listed below are defined as in <sys/wait.h>, for use in decoding the return value from system(). See wait.h(3HEAD) and system(3C).
