Multibyte Conversion Function
int mblen(const char *mbstr, size_t count);
Internationalization (I18n) Function Overview
The mblen function test the validity of the multibyte character pointed to by mbstr,
using the LC_CTYPE category setting of the current locale, and returns the number of bytes that
make up the character; else -1 in the case of an error. The function
will not look at more than count bytes in mbstr.
mblen is often used to convert between multibyte and wide-character representations.
I18n Issues
Prior to calling mblen, ensure that the current locale is set correctly.
