TOWUPPER(3P)						     POSIX Programmer's Manual						      TOWUPPER(3P)

PROLOG
       This  manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
       ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
       towupper, towupper_l -- transliterate lowercase wide-character code to uppercase

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wctype.h>

       wint_t towupper(wint_t wc);
       wint_t towupper_l(wint_t wc, locale_t locale);

DESCRIPTION
       For towupper(): The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict  between  the  require-
       ments described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The  towupper()	and  towupper_l() functions have as a domain a type wint_t, the value of which the application shall ensure is a character
       representable as a wchar_t, and a wide-character code corresponding to a valid character in the current locale or the value  of	WEOF.	If
       the  argument  has  any other value, the behavior is undefined.	If the argument of towupper() or towupper_l() represents a lowercase wide-
       character code, and there exists a corresponding uppercase wide-character code as defined by character  type  information  in  the  current
       locale or in the locale represented by locale, respectively (category LC_CTYPE), the result shall be the corresponding uppercase wide-char-
       acter code.  All other arguments in the domain are returned unchanged.

       The behavior is undefined if the locale argument to towupper_l() is the special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is  not  a  valid  locale
       object handle.

RETURN VALUE
       Upon  successful  completion,  the  towupper()  and  towupper_l() functions shall return the uppercase letter corresponding to the argument
       passed. Otherwise, they shall return the argument unchanged.
