ISWUPPER(3)               Linux Programmer's Manual              ISWUPPER(3)

NAME         top

       iswupper - test for uppercase wide character

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wctype.h>
       int iswupper(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION         top

       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         top

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

NOTES         top

       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.
