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.1‐2008 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.


ERRORS
       No errors are defined.
