+.SH NAME
+mbrlen
+\(em get number of bytes in a character (restartable)
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <wchar.h>
+.P
+size_t mbrlen(const char *restrict \fIs\fP, size_t \fIn\fP,
+ mbstate_t *restrict \fIps\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
+ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
+ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
+.P
+If
+.IR s
+is not a null pointer,
+\fImbrlen\fR()
+shall determine the number of bytes constituting the character pointed
+to by
+.IR s .
+It shall be equivalent to:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+
+mbstate_t internal;
+mbrtowc(NULL, s, n, ps != NULL ? ps : &internal);
+.fi
+.P
+.RE
+.P
+If
+.IR ps
+is a null pointer, the
+\fImbrlen\fR()
+function shall use its own internal
+.BR mbstate_t
+object, which is initialized at program start-up to the initial
+conversion state. Otherwise, the
+.BR mbstate_t
+object pointed to by
+.IR ps
+shall be used to completely describe the current conversion state of
+the associated character sequence. The implementation shall behave as
+if no function defined in this volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 calls
+\fImbrlen\fR().
+.P
+The behavior of this function is affected by the
+.IR LC_CTYPE
+category of the current locale.
+.P
+The
+\fImbrlen\fR()
+function need not be thread-safe if called with a NULL
+.IR ps
+argument.
+.P
+The
+\fImbrlen\fR()
+function shall not change the setting of
+.IR errno
+if successful.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+The
+\fImbrlen\fR()
+function shall return the first of the following that applies:
+.IP 0 12
+If the next
+.IR n
+or fewer bytes complete the character that corresponds to the null
+wide character.
+.IP "\fIpositive\fP" 12
+If the next
+.IR n
+or fewer bytes complete a valid character; the value returned shall
+be the number of bytes that complete the character.
+.IP "(\fBsize_t\fP)\-2" 12
+If the next
+.IR n
+bytes contribute to an incomplete but potentially valid character, and
+all
+.IR n
+bytes have been processed. When
+.IR n
+has at least the value of the
+{MB_CUR_MAX}
+macro, this case can only occur if
+.IR s
+points at a sequence of redundant shift sequences (for implementations
+with state-dependent encodings).
+.IP "(\fBsize_t\fP)\-1" 12
+If an encoding error occurs, in which case the next
+.IR n
+or fewer bytes do not contribute to a complete and valid character. In
+this case,
+.BR [EILSEQ]
+shall be stored in
+.IR errno
+and the conversion state is undefined.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+\fImbrlen\fR()
+function shall fail if:
+.TP
+.BR EILSEQ
+An invalid character sequence is detected.
+In the POSIX locale an
+.BR [EILSEQ]
+error cannot occur since all byte values are valid characters.
+.br
+.P
+The
+\fImbrlen\fR()
+function may fail if:
+.TP
+.BR EINVAL
+.IR ps
+points to an object that contains an invalid conversion state.
