MaximumLengthOfBytesUsingEncoding Method (enc)

Returns the maximum number of bytes needed to store the receiver in a given encoding.

Original signature is '- (NSUInteger)maximumLengthOfBytesUsingEncoding:(NSStringEncoding)enc'

Available in Mac OS X v10.4 and later.

Declaration Syntax

Visual Basic

Visual C++

public virtual NSUInteger MaximumLengthOfBytesUsingEncoding(
	NSStringEncoding enc
)

Public Overridable Function MaximumLengthOfBytesUsingEncoding ( _
	enc As NSStringEncoding _
) As NSUInteger

public:
virtual NSUInteger MaximumLengthOfBytesUsingEncoding(
	NSStringEncoding enc
)

Parameters

enc (NSStringEncoding): The encoding for which to determine the receiver's length.

Return Value

The maximum number of bytes needed to store the receiver in encoding in a non-external representation. The length does not include space for a terminating NULL character. Returns 0 if the amount of memory required for storing the results of the encoding conversion would exceed NSIntegerMax.
