14.TH ISWUPPER 3 1999-07-25 "GNU" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
15.SH NAME
16iswupper \- test for uppercase wide character
17.SH SYNOPSIS

20.sp
21.BI "int iswupper(wint_t " wc );

23.SH DESCRIPTION
e511ffb6 24The \fBiswupper\fP() function is the wide-character equivalent of the
c13182ef
MK
25\fBisupper\fP() function.
26It tests whether \fIwc\fP is a wide character
fea681da
MK
27belonging to the wide character class "upper".
28.PP
29The wide character class "upper" is a subclass of the wide character class
30"alpha", and therefore also a subclass of the wide character class "alnum", of
31the wide character class "graph" and of the wide character class "print".
32.PP
33Being a subclass of the wide character class "print", the wide character class
34"upper" is disjoint from the wide character class "cntrl".
35.PP
36Being a subclass of the wide character class "graph", the wide character class
37"upper" is disjoint from the wide character class "space" and its subclass
38"blank".
39.PP
40Being a subclass of the wide character class "alnum", the wide character class
41"upper" is disjoint from the wide character class "punct".
42.PP
43Being a subclass of the wide character class "alpha", the wide character class
44"upper" is disjoint from the wide character class "digit".
45.PP
46The wide character class "upper" contains at least those characters \fIwc\fP
47which are equal to \fItowupper(wc)\fP and different from \fItowlower(wc)\fP.
48.PP
49The wide character class "upper" always contains at least the letters 'A'
50to 'Z'.
51.SH "RETURN VALUE"
e511ffb6 52The \fBiswupper\fP() function returns non-zero if \fIwc\fP is a wide character
c13182ef
MK
53belonging to the wide character class "upper".
54Otherwise it returns zero.

61.SH NOTES
e511ffb6 62The behaviour of \fBiswupper\fP() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the
fea681da
MK
63current locale.
64.PP
65This function is not very appropriate for dealing with Unicode characters,
66because Unicode knows about three cases: upper, lower and title case.
