isupper, _isupper_l, iswupper, _iswupper_l
Determines whether an integer represents an uppercase character.
Syntax
int isupper(
int c
);
int _isupper_l (
int c,
_locale_t locale
);
int iswupper(
wint_t c
);
int _iwsupper_l(
wint_t c,
_locale_t locale
);
Parameters
c
Integer to test.
locale
Locale to use.
Return value
Each of these routines returns nonzero if c is a particular representation of an uppercase letter. isupper returns a nonzero value if c is an uppercase character (A - Z). iswupper returns a nonzero value if c is a wide character that corresponds to an uppercase letter, or if c is one of an implementation-defined set of wide characters for which none of iswcntrl, iswdigit, iswpunct, or iswspace is nonzero. Each of these routines returns 0 if c doesn't satisfy the test condition.
The versions of these functions that have the _l suffix use the locale that's passed in instead of the current locale for their locale-dependent behavior. For more information, see Locale.
The behavior of isupper and _isupper_l is undefined if c isn't EOF or in the range 0 through 0xFF, inclusive. When a debug CRT library is used and c isn't one of these values, the functions raise an assertion.
