17.SH NAME
18iswupper \- test for uppercase wide character
19.SH SYNOPSIS

21.B #include <wctype.h>

25.SH DESCRIPTION
60a90ecd
MK
26The
27.BR iswupper ()
28function is the wide-character equivalent of the
29.BR isupper (3)
30function.
35cfd378
MK
31It tests whether
32.I wc
33is a wide character
d0f17b57 34belonging to the wide-character class "upper".
fea681da 35.PP
d0f17b57
MK
36The wide-character class "upper" is a subclass of the wide-character class
37"alpha", and therefore also a subclass of the wide-character class "alnum", of
38the wide-character class "graph" and of the wide-character class "print".
fea681da 39.PP
d0f17b57
MK
40Being a subclass of the wide-character class "print", the wide-character class
41"upper" is disjoint from the wide-character class "cntrl".
fea681da 42.PP
d0f17b57
MK
43Being a subclass of the wide-character class "graph", the wide-character class
44"upper" is disjoint from the wide-character class "space" and its subclass
fea681da
MK
45"blank".
46.PP
d0f17b57
MK
47Being a subclass of the wide-character class "alnum", the wide-character class
48"upper" is disjoint from the wide-character class "punct".
fea681da 49.PP
d0f17b57
MK
50Being a subclass of the wide-character class "alpha", the wide-character class
51"upper" is disjoint from the wide-character class "digit".
fea681da 52.PP
35cfd378
MK
53The wide-character class "upper" contains at least those characters
54.I wc
51700fd7 55which are equal to
35cfd378
MK
56.I towupper(wc)
57and different from
58.IR towlower(wc) .
fea681da 59.PP
f81fb444
MK
60The wide-character class "upper" always contains at least the
61letters \(aqA\(aq to \(aqZ\(aq.
47297adb 62.SH RETURN VALUE
60a90ecd
MK
63The
64.BR iswupper ()
35cfd378
MK
65function returns nonzero if
66.I wc
67is a wide character
d0f17b57 68belonging to the wide-character class "upper".
2b9b829d 69Otherwise, it returns zero.

fea681da 84.SH NOTES
d9bfdb9c 85The behavior of
60a90ecd 86.BR iswupper ()
1274071a
MK
87depends on the
88.B LC_CTYPE
89category of the
fea681da
MK
90current locale.
91.PP
92This function is not very appropriate for dealing with Unicode characters,
93because Unicode knows about three cases: upper, lower and title case.
