TOUPPER(3P)                POSIX Programmer's Manual               TOUPPER(3P)
PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
       toupper, toupper_l -- transliterate lowercase characters to uppercase
SYNOPSIS
       #include <ctype.h>
       int toupper(int c);
       int toupper_l(int c, locale_t locale);
DESCRIPTION
       For toupper(): The functionality described on this  reference  page  is
       aligned  with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements
       described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume  of
       POSIX.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard.
       The  toupper()  and  toupper_l() functions have as a domain a type int,
       the value of which is representable as an unsigned char or the value of
       EOF. If the argument has any other value, the behavior is undefined.
       If the argument of toupper() or toupper_l() represents a lowercase let-
       ter, and there exists a corresponding uppercase letter  as  defined  by
       character  type information in the current locale or in the locale rep-
       resented by locale, respectively (category LC_CTYPE), the result  shall
       be the corresponding uppercase letter.
       All other arguments in the domain are returned unchanged.
       The  behavior is undefined if the locale argument to toupper_l() is the
       special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale  object
       handle.
RETURN VALUE
       Upon  successful completion, toupper() and toupper_l() shall return the
       uppercase letter corresponding to the argument passed; otherwise,  they
       shall return the argument unchanged.
ERRORS
       No errors are defined.
