Overview
For towupper(): The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.
The towupper() and towupper_l() functions have as a domain a type wint_t, the value of which the application shall ensure is a character representable as a wchar_t, and a wide-character code corresponding to a valid character in the locale used by the function or the value of WEOF. If the argument has any other value, the behavior is undefined. If the argument of towupper() or towupper_l() represents a lowercase wide-character code, and there exists a corresponding uppercase wide-character code as defined by character type information in the current locale or in the locale represented by locale, respectively (category LC_CTYPE), the result shall be the corresponding uppercase wide-character code. All other arguments in the domain are returned unchanged.
The behavior is undefined if the locale argument to towupper_l() is the special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale object handle.
Return value
Upon successful completion, the towupper() and towupper_l() functions shall return the uppercase letter corresponding to the argument passed. Otherwise, they shall return the argument unchanged.
