Purpose
Determines the number of bytes contained in the specified multibyte character.
Parameters
| Input | ||
| Name | Type | Description |
| multibyteChar | const char [] | Contains a pointer to the multibyte character that is examined. |
| byteLimit | size_t | Specifies the maximum number of bytes that are examined to determine the length of the specified multibyte character. |
Return Value
| Name | Type | Description |
| numberOfBytes | int | Contains the number of bytes in the multibyte character. If multibyteChar is a null pointer, the function returns zero if multibyte characters are not state-dependent; otherwise, a nonzero value is returned. The function returns -1 if byteLimit bytes do not form a valid multibyte character. The function returns zero if multibyteChar points to the null character. |
