TOWUPPER(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 					       TOWUPPER(3)

NAME
towupper, towupper_l -- lower case to upper case letter conversion (wide character version) LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h> wint_t towupper(wint_t wc); #include <wctype.h> #include <xlocale.h> wint_t towupper_l(wint_t wc, locale_t loc); DESCRIPTION
The towupper() function converts a lower-case letter to the corresponding upper-case letter. Although the towupper() function uses the current locale, the towupper_l() function may be passed a locale directly. See xlocale(3) for more information. RETURN VALUES
If the argument is a lower-case letter, the towupper() function returns the corresponding upper-case letter if there is one; otherwise, the argument is returned unchanged. SEE ALSO
iswupper(3), toupper(3), towlower(3), wctrans(3), xlocale(3) STANDARDS
The towupper() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99''). BSD
