isupper, iswupper

int isupper(
   int c 
);
int iswupper(
   wint_t c 
);

Each of these routines returns nonzero if c is a particular representation of an uppercase letter.

Parameter

c

Integer to test.

Return Value

isupper returns a non-zero value if c is an uppercase character (a – z). iswupper returns a non-zero 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 does not satisfy the test condition.

The result of the test condition for the isupper function depends on the LC_CTYPE category setting of the current locale; see setlocale for more information. For iswupper, the result of the test condition is independent of locale.

When used with a debug CRT library, isupper will display a CRT assert if passed a parameter that isn't EOF or in the range of 0 through 0xFF. When used with a debug CRT library, isupper will use the parameter as an index into an array, with undefined results if the parameter isn't EOF or in the range of 0 through 0xFF.
