NAME

       iswupper - test for uppercase wide character

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wctype.h>

       int iswupper(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION

       The  iswupper() function is the wide-character equivalent of the isupper(3) function.  It tests whether wc is a wide character belonging to
       the wide-character class "upper".

       The wide-character class "upper" is a subclass of the wide-character class "alpha", and therefore also a  subclass  of  the  wide-character
       class "alnum", of the wide-character class "graph" and of the wide-character class "print".

       Being a subclass of the wide-character class "print", the wide-character class "upper" is disjoint from the wide-character class "cntrl".

       Being  a  subclass  of the wide-character class "graph", the wide-character class "upper" is disjoint from the wide-character class "space"
       and its subclass "blank".

       Being a subclass of the wide-character class "alnum", the wide-character class "upper" is disjoint from the wide-character class "punct".

       Being a subclass of the wide-character class "alpha", the wide-character class "upper" is disjoint from the wide-character class "digit".

       The wide-character class "upper" contains at least those characters wc which are equal to towupper(wc) and different from towlower(wc).

       The wide-character class "upper" always contains at least the letters 'A' to 'Z'.

RETURN VALUE

       The iswupper() function returns nonzero if wc is a wide character belonging to the wide-character  class  "upper".   Otherwise  it  returns
       zero.

CONFORMING TO

       C99.

NOTES

       The behavior of iswupper() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.

       This  function is not very appropriate for dealing with Unicode characters, because Unicode knows about three cases: upper, lower and title
       case.
