TOWUPPER(3) Linux Programmer's Manual TOWUPPER(3)

NAME

     towupper, towupper_l - convert a wide character to uppercase

SYNOPSIS

     #include <wctype.h>
     wint_t towupper(wint_t wc);
     wint_t towupper_l(wint_t wc, locale_t locale);
 Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
     towupper_l():
         Since glibc 2.10:
                _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700
         Before glibc 2.10:
                _GNU_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

     The  towupper()  function is the wide-character equivalent of the toup-
     per(3) function.  If wc is a lowercase wide character, and there exists
     an uppercase equivalent in the current locale, it returns the uppercase
     equivalent of wc.  In all other cases, wc is returned unchanged.
     The towupper_l() function performs the same task, but performs the con-
     version based on the character type information in the locale specified
     by locale.  The behavior of towupper_l() is undefined if locale is  the
     special  locale  object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE (see duplocale(3)) or is not a
     valid locale object handle.
     The argument wc must be representable as a wchar_t and be a valid char-
     acter in the locale or be the value WEOF.

RETURN VALUE

     If  wc  was  convertible to uppercase, towupper() returns its uppercase
     equivalent; otherwise it returns wc.

VERSIONS

     The towupper_l() function first appeared in glibc 2.3.

CONFORMING TO

     towupper():  C99,  POSIX.1-2001  (XSI);  present as an XSI extension in
     POSIX.1-2008, but marked obsolete.
     towupper_l(): POSIX.1-2008.

NOTES

     The behavior of these functions depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the
     locale.
     These functions are not very appropriate for dealing with Unicode char-
     acters, because Unicode knows about three cases: upper, lower and title
     case.
