isupper_l3
Upper-case character test
Part of isupper(3).
Usage
#include <ctype.h>
int
isupper(int c);
int
isupper_l(int c, locale_t loc);
Library
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
Overview
The isupper() and isupper_l() functions test for any upper-case letter. The value of the argument must be representable as an unsigned char or the value of EOF.
In the ASCII character set, this includes the following characters (with their numeric values shown in octal):
| 101 ``A'' | 102 ``B'' | 103 ``C'' | 104 ``D'' | 105 ``E'' |
| 106 ``F'' | 107 ``G'' | 110 ``H'' | 111 ``I'' | 112 ``J'' |
| 113 ``K'' | 114 ``L'' | 115 ``M'' | 116 ``N'' | 117 ``O'' |
| 120 ``P'' | 121 ``Q'' | 122 ``R'' | 123 ``S'' | 124 ``T'' |
| 125 ``U'' | 126 ``V'' | 127 ``W'' | 130 ``X'' | 131 ``Y'' |
| 132 ``Z'' |
The isupper_l() function takes an explicit locale argument, whereas the isupper() function uses the current global or per-thread locale.
Return values
The isupper() and isupper_l() functions return zero if the character tests false and return non-zero if the character tests true.
Compatibility
The 4.4BSD extension of accepting arguments outside of the range of the unsigned char type in locales with large character sets is considered obsolete and may not be supported in future releases. The iswupper() or iswupper_l() function should be used instead.
Releases
13 releases since FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE; the text changed 2 times.
