PROLOG

6       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
7       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
8       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
9       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

12       towupper, towupper_l — transliterate lowercase wide-character  code  to
13       uppercase
14

SYNOPSIS

16       #include <wctype.h>
17
18       wint_t towupper(wint_t wc);
19       wint_t towupper_l(wint_t wc, locale_t locale);
20

DESCRIPTION

22       For  towupper():  The functionality described on this reference page is
23       aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the  requirements
24       described  here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of
25       POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.
26
27       The towupper() and towupper_l() functions  have  as  a  domain  a  type
28       wint_t,  the value of which the application shall ensure is a character
29       representable as a wchar_t, and a wide-character code corresponding  to
30       a  valid  character  in the locale used by the function or the value of
31       WEOF.  If the argument has any other value, the behavior is  undefined.
32       If  the  argument  of towupper() or towupper_l() represents a lowercase
33       wide-character code, and there exists a corresponding  uppercase  wide-
34       character  code as defined by character type information in the current
35       locale or in the locale represented by locale,  respectively  (category
36       LC_CTYPE), the result shall be the corresponding uppercase wide-charac‐
37       ter code.  All other arguments in the domain are returned unchanged.
38
39       The behavior is undefined if the locale argument to towupper_l() is the
40       special  locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale object
41       handle.
42

RETURN VALUE

44       Upon successful completion, the towupper() and  towupper_l()  functions
45       shall return the uppercase letter corresponding to the argument passed.
46       Otherwise, they shall return the argument unchanged.
