mblen(3int)							   mblen(3int)

Name
       mblen - determines the number of bytes comprising a multibyte character

Syntax
       #include <stdlib.h>

       int mblen (s, n)
       const char *s;
       size_t n;

Arguments
       s       The s argument is a pointer to the multibyte character string.

       n       The  n  argument	 is  the maximum number of bytes in s that are
	       examined.

Description
       If s is not a null pointer, the function determines the number of bytes
       comprising  the	multibyte  character pointed to by s.  The function is
       equivalent to:
       (mbtowc((wchar_t *)0, s, n);)

       This function is affected by  the  LC_CTYPE  category  of  the  current
       locale.

Return Values
       If s is a null pointer, the function returns a zero value.  If s is not
       a null pointer, the function returns:

	  ·  0 (if s points to the null character)

	  ·  The number of bytes that comprise the multibyte character (if the
	     next n or fewer bytes form a valid multibyte character)

	  ·
	      -1 (if they do not form a valid multibyte character)
