Return Value
_ismbslead and _ismbstrail return –1 if the character is a lead or trail byte, respectively. Otherwise they return zero.
Parameters
string
Pointer to start of string or previous known lead byte
current
Pointer to position in string to be tested
Remarks
The _ismbslead and _ismbstrail routines perform context-sensitive tests for multibyte-character string lead and trail bytes; they determine whether a given substring pointer points to a lead byte or a trail byte. _ismbslead and _ismbstrail are slower than their _ismbblead and _ismbbtrail counterparts because they take the string context into account.
