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¶

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.
