iswupper(3)
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 widecharacter 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.
