+.SH NAME
+mbrlen \- determine number of bytes in next multibyte character
+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library
+.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <wchar.h>
+.PP
+.BI "size_t mbrlen(const char " s "[restrict ." n "], size_t " n ,
+.BI " mbstate_t *restrict " ps );
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR mbrlen ()
+function inspects at most
+.I n
+bytes of the multibyte
+string starting at
+.I s
+and extracts the next complete multibyte character.
+It updates the shift state
+.IR *ps .
+If the multibyte character is not the
+null wide character, it returns the number of bytes that were consumed from
+.IR s .
+If the multibyte character is the null wide character, it resets the
+shift state
+.I *ps
+to the initial state and returns 0.
+.PP
+If the
+.I n
+bytes starting at
+.I s
+do not contain a complete multibyte
+character,
+.BR mbrlen ()
+returns
+.IR "(size_t)\ \-2" .
+This can happen even if
+.I n
+>=
+.IR MB_CUR_MAX ,
+if the multibyte string contains redundant shift
+sequences.
+.PP
+If the multibyte string starting at
+.I s
+contains an invalid multibyte
+sequence before the next complete character,
+.BR mbrlen ()
+returns
+.I (size_t)\ \-1
+and sets
+.I errno
+to
+.BR EILSEQ .
+In this case,
+the effects on
+.I *ps
+are undefined.
+.PP
+If
+.I ps
+is NULL, a static anonymous state known only to the
+.BR mbrlen ()
+function is used instead.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR mbrlen ()
+function returns the number of bytes
+parsed from the multibyte
+sequence starting at
+.IR s ,
+if a non-null wide character was recognized.
+It returns 0, if a null wide character was recognized.
+It returns
+.I "(size_t)\ \-1"
+and sets
+.I errno
+to
+.BR EILSEQ ,
+if an invalid multibyte sequence was
+encountered.
+It returns
+.I (size_t)\ \-2
+if it couldn't parse a complete multibyte
+character, meaning that
+.I n
+should be increased.
