NAME

       iswupper - test for uppercase wide character

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wctype.h>

       int iswupper(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION

       The iswupper() function is the wide-character equivalent of the isupper(3) function.  It tests whether wc
       is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class "upper".

       The wide-character class "upper" is a subclass of the wide-character class "alpha", and therefore also  a
       subclass  of  the  wide-character  class  "alnum",  of  the wide-character class "graph" and of the wide-
       character class "print".

       Being a subclass of the wide-character class "print", the wide-character class "upper" is  disjoint  from
       the wide-character class "cntrl".

       Being  a  subclass of the wide-character class "graph", the wide-character class "upper" is disjoint from
       the wide-character class "space" and its subclass "blank".

       Being a subclass of the wide-character class "alnum", the wide-character class "upper" is  disjoint  from
       the wide-character class "punct".

       Being  a  subclass of the wide-character class "alpha", the wide-character class "upper" is disjoint from
       the wide-character class "digit".

       The wide-character class "upper" contains at least those characters wc which are  equal  to  towupper(wc)
       and different from towlower(wc).

       The wide-character class "upper" always contains at least the letters 'A' to 'Z'.

RETURN VALUE

       The  iswupper()  function returns nonzero if wc is a wide character belonging to the wide-character class
       "upper".  Otherwise, it returns zero.

CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, C99.

NOTES

       The behavior of iswupper() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.

       This function is not very appropriate for dealing with Unicode characters, because  Unicode  knows  about
       three cases: upper, lower and title case.
