toupper, toupper_l - transliterate lower-case characters to upper-case
#include <ctype.h> int toupper(int c);
int toupper_l(int c, locale_t loc);
The toupper() function has as a domain of 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 argument is returned unchanged. If the argument of toupper() represents a lower-case letter, and there exists a corresponding upper-case letter (as defined by character type information in the locale category LC_CTYPE), the result is the corresponding upper-case letter. All other arguments in the domain are returned unchanged.
The function toupper_l() behaves identically to toupper(), except instead of operating in the current locale, it operates in the locale specified by loc.
A macro form, _toupper() exists. It is defined for standards conformance, particularly with legacy standards. It was deprecated in POSIX 2008 (Issue 7), and its use is discouraged. The macro, on this system, is just an alias for toupper().
On successful completion, toupper() returns the upper-case letter corresponding to the argument passed.
No errors are defined.
