NAME

       towupper - convert a wide character to uppercase

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wctype.h>

       wint_t towupper(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION

       The  towupper()  function  is  the  wide-character  equivalent  of  the
       toupper(3) function.  If wc is a wide character,  it  is  converted  to
       uppercase.   Characters  which do not have case are returned unchanged.
       If wc is WEOF, WEOF is returned.

RETURN VALUE

       The towupper() function returns the uppercase equivalent of wc, or WEOF
       if wc is WEOF.

CONFORMING TO

       C99.

NOTES

       The  behavior  of  towupper()  depends  on the LC_CTYPE category of the
       current locale.

       This  function  is  not  very  appropriate  for  dealing  with  Unicode
       characters,  because  Unicode knows about three cases: upper, lower and
       title case.
