<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">#include &lt;ctype.h&gt;
int toupper(int <var>c</var>);
int _toupper(int <var>c</var>);
#include &lt;ctype.h&gt;
int toupper_l(int <var>c</var>, locale_t <var>locale</var>);
</pre></div>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
<code>toupper</code> is a macro which converts lowercase characters to uppercase,
leaving all other characters unchanged. It is only defined when
<var>c</var> is an integer in the range <code>EOF</code> to <code>255</code>.
</p>
<p><code>toupper_l</code> is like <code>toupper</code> but performs the function based on the
locale specified by the locale object locale. If <var>locale</var> is
LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or not a valid locale object, the behaviour is undefined.
</p>
<p>You can use a compiled subroutine instead of the macro definition by
undefining this macro using &lsquo;<code>#undef toupper</code>&rsquo; or &lsquo;<code>#undef toupper_l</code>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p><code>_toupper</code> performs the same conversion as <code>toupper</code>, but should
only be used when <var>c</var> is known to be a lowercase character (<code>a</code>&ndash;<code>z</code>).
</p>
<br>
<p><strong>Returns</strong><br>
<code>toupper</code>, <code>toupper_l</code> return the uppercase equivalent of <var>c</var> when
<var>c</var> is a lowercase character, and <var>c</var> otherwise.
</p>
<p><code>_toupper</code> returns the uppercase equivalent of <var>c</var> when it is a
character between <code>a</code> and <code>z</code>. If <var>c</var> is not one of these
characters, the behaviour of <code>_toupper</code> is undefined.
</p>
<br>
<p><strong>Portability</strong><br>
<code>toupper</code> is ANSI C. <code>_toupper</code> is not recommended for portable programs.
<code>toupper_l</code> is POSIX-1.2008.
</p>
<p>No supporting OS subroutines are required.
