towupper(3) Library Functions Manual towupper(3)
towupper, towupper_l - convert a wide character to uppercase
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
#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
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 specified 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.
If wc was convertible to uppercase, towupper() returns its
uppercase equivalent; otherwise it returns wc.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).

towupper()
C11, POSIX.1-2008 (XSI).
towupper_l()
POSIX.1-2008.
towupper()
C99, POSIX.1-2001 (XSI). Obsolete in POSIX.1-2008 (XSI).
towupper_l()
POSIX.1-2008. glibc 2.3.
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.
