+.Sh NAME
+.Nm mbrlen
+.Nd "get number of bytes in a character (restartable)"
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In wchar.h
+.Ft size_t
+.Fn mbrlen "const char *restrict s" "size_t n" "mbstate_t *restrict ps"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn mbrlen
+function determines the the number of bytes constituting the
+multibyte character sequence pointer to by
+.Fa s .
+.Pp
+It is equivalent to:
+.Pp
+.Dl "mbrtowc(NULL, s, n, ps);"
+.Pp
+Except that when
+.Fa ps
+is a NULL pointer,
+.Fn mbrlen
+uses its own static, internal
+.Ft mbstate_t
+object to keep track of shift state.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn mbrlen
+functions returns:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It 0
+The first
+.Fa n
+or fewer bytes of
+.Fa s
+represent the null wide character (L'\e0').
+.It >0
+The first
+.Fa n
+or fewer bytes of
+.Fa s
+represent a valid character,
+.Fn mbrtowc
+returns the length (in bytes) of the multibyte sequence.
+.It Xo
+.No ( Ns
+.Ft size_t Ns
+.No ) Ns \&-2
+.Xc
+The first
+.Fa n
+bytes of
+.Fa s
+are an incomplete multibyte sequence.
+.It Xo
+.No ( Ns
+.Ft size_t Ns
+.No ) Ns \&-1
+.Xc
+The byte sequence pointed to by
+.Fa s
+is an invalid multibyte sequence.
+.El
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn mbrlen
+function will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.\".It Bq Er EINVAL
+.\"Invalid argument.
+.It Bq Er EILSEQ
+An invalid multibyte sequence was detected.
+.El
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr mblen 3 ,
+.Xr mbrtowc 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn mbrlen
+function conforms to
+.St -isoC-99 .
+.Sh BUGS
+The current implementation does not support shift states.
