[edit] Parameters
| ch | - | character to be converted. If the value of ch is not representable as unsigned char and does not equal EOF, the behavior is undefined.

[edit] Return value
Uppercase version of ch or unmodified ch if no uppercase version is listed in the current C locale.
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <stdio.h> #include <ctype.h> #include <locale.h> #include <limits.h> int main(void) { /* In the default locale: */ unsigned char u; for (unsigned char l=0; l<UCHAR_MAX; l++) { u = toupper(l); if (l!=u) printf("%c%c ", l,u); } printf("\n\n"); unsigned char c = '\xb8'; // the character Ž in ISO-8859-15 // but ´ (acute accent) in ISO-8859-1 unsigned char c2 = c; // for printing setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.iso88591"); printf("in iso8859-1, toupper('0x%x') gives 0x%x\n", c2, toupper(c)); setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.iso885915"); printf("in iso8859-15, toupper('0x%x') gives 0x%x\n", c2, toupper(c)); }
Output:
aA bB cC dD eE fF gG hH iI jJ kK lL mM nN oO pP qQ rR sS tT uU vV wW xX yY zZ
in iso8859-1, toupper('0xb8') gives 0xb8
in iso8859-15, toupper('0xb8') gives 0xb4[edit] References
