ISWUPPER(3) Linux Programmer's Manual ISWUPPER(3)
iswupper - test for uppercase wide character
#include <wctype.h>
int iswupper(wint_t wc);
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'.
The iswupper() function returns nonzero if wc is a wide character
belonging to the wide-character class "upper". Otherwise it returns
zero.
C99.
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.
