TOWUPPER(3)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						       TOWUPPER(3)

NAME

       towupper, towupper_l - convert a wide character to uppercase

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wctype.h>

       wint_t towupper(wint_t wc);

       wint_t towupper_l(wint_t wc, locale_t locale);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       towupper_l():
	   Since glibc 2.10:
		  _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700
	   Before glibc 2.10:
		  _GNU_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

       The towupper() function is the wide-character equivalent of the toupper(3) function.  If wc is a lowercase wide character, and there exists
       an uppercase equivalent in the current locale, it returns the uppercase equivalent of wc.  In all other cases, wc is returned unchanged.

       The towupper_l() function performs the same task, but performs the conversion based on the character type information in the locale  speci-
       fied by locale.	The behavior of towupper_l() is undefined if locale is the special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE (see duplocale(3)) or is
       not a valid locale object handle.

       The argument wc must be representable as a wchar_t and be a valid character in the locale or be the value WEOF.

RETURN VALUE

       If wc was convertible to uppercase, towupper() returns its uppercase equivalent; otherwise it returns wc.

VERSIONS

       The towupper_l() function first appeared in glibc 2.3.

CONFORMING TO

       towupper(): C99, POSIX.1-2001 (XSI); present as an XSI extension in POSIX.1-2008, but marked obsolete.

       towupper_l(): POSIX.1-2008.

NOTES

       The behavior of these functions depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the locale.

       These functions are not very appropriate for dealing with Unicode characters, because Unicode knows about three	cases:	upper,	lower  and
       title case.

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       The  towlower()	function  is  the  wide-character  equivalent of the tolower(3) function.  If wc is an uppercase wide character, and there
       exists a lowercase equivalent in the current locale, it returns the lowercase equivalent of  wc.   In  all  other  cases,  wc  is  returned
       unchanged.

       fied by locale.	The behavior of towlower_l() is undefined if locale is the special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE (see duplocale(3)) or is
       not a valid locale object handle.

       The argument wc must be representable as a wchar_t and be a valid character in the locale or be the value WEOF.

RETURN VALUE

       If wc was convertible to lowercase, towlower() returns its lowercase equivalent; otherwise it returns wc.
