PROLOG

       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface
       may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface
       may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       toupper, toupper_l — transliterate lowercase characters to uppercase

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ctype.h>

       int toupper(int c);
       int toupper_l(int c, locale_t locale);

DESCRIPTION

       For toupper(): The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any
       conflict  between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of
       POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The toupper() and toupper_l() functions have 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()  or  toupper_l()  represents  a  lowercase  letter,  and  there exists a
       corresponding uppercase letter as defined by character type information in the current locale or  in  the
       locale  represented  by  locale,  respectively (category LC_CTYPE), the result shall be the corresponding
       uppercase letter.

       All other arguments in the domain are returned unchanged.

       The behavior  is  undefined  if  the  locale  argument  to  toupper_l()  is  the  special  locale  object
       LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale object handle.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon  successful completion, toupper() and toupper_l() shall return the uppercase letter corresponding to
       the argument passed; otherwise, they shall return the argument unchanged.
