TOUPPER(3) Library Functions Manual TOUPPER(3)

toupper, toupper_llower case to upper case letter conversion

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

#include <ctype.h>

int
toupper(int c);

#include <ctype.h>
#include <xlocale.h>

int
toupper_l(int c, locale_t loc);

The () function converts a lower-case letter to the corresponding upper-case letter. The argument must be representable as an unsigned char or the value of EOF.

Although the () function uses the current locale, the () function may be passed a locale directly. See xlocale(3) for more information.

If the argument is a lower-case letter, the toupper() function returns the corresponding upper-case letter if there is one; otherwise, the argument is returned unchanged.

The 4.4BSD extension of accepting arguments outside of the range of the unsigned char type in locales with large character sets is considered obsolete and may not be supported in future releases. The towupper() function should be used instead.

The toupper() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1990 (“ISO C90”).
