SYNOPSIS

       #include <ctype.h>

       int toupper(int c);

DESCRIPTION

       The  toupper()  function has as a domain a type int, the value of which
       is representable as an unsigned char  or  the  value  of  EOF.  If  the
       argument  has  any  other  value,  the  behavior  is  undefined. If the
       argument of toupper() represents a lowercase letter, and there exists a
       corresponding   uppercase   letter    (as  defined  by  character  type
       information in the program locale  category  LC_CTYPE  ),   the  result
       shall be the corresponding uppercase letter. All other arguments in the
       domain are returned unchanged.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, toupper() shall return the uppercase letter
       corresponding to the argument passed.
