NAME
toupper - transliterate lowercase characters to uppercase
SYNOPSIS
#include <ctype.h>
int toupper(int c);
DESCRIPTION
The toupper() function has as a domain a type int, the value of which
is representable as an unsigned char or the value of EOF. If the argu-
ment has any other value, the behavior is undefined. If the argument of
toupper() represents a lowercase letter, and there exists a correspond-
ing uppercase letter (as defined by character type information in the
program locale category LC_CTYPE ), the result shall be the corre-
sponding uppercase letter. All other arguments in the domain are
returned unchanged.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, toupper() shall return the uppercase letter
corresponding to the argument passed.
