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

       exists  a  corresponding upper-case letter (as defined by character type information in the program locale category LC_CTYPE),	the result
       is the corresponding upper-case letter. All other arguments in the domain are returned unchanged.

RETURN VALUES

       On successful completion, toupper() returns the upper-case letter corresponding to the argument passed.

ERRORS

       No errors are defined.
