iswupper iswupper_l — test for an uppercase letter wide-character code

#include <wctype.h>

int iswupper(wint_t wc);
[CX] int iswupper_l(wint_t wc, locale_t locale);

For iswupper (): [CX] 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.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard.

The iswupper () [CX] and iswupper_l () functions shall test whether wc is a wide-character code representing a character of class in the current locale, [CX] or in the locale represented by locale, respectively; see XBD V1_chap07(7).

The wc argument is a , the value of which the application shall ensure is a wide-character code corresponding to a valid character in the current locale, or equal to the value of the macro WEOF. If the argument has any other value, the behavior is undefined.

[CX] The behavior is undefined if the locale argument to iswupper_l () is the special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE or is not a valid locale object handle.

The iswupper () [CX] and iswupper_l () functions shall return non-zero if wc is an uppercase letter wide-character code; otherwise, they shall return 0.

No errors are defined.

None.

To ensure applications portability, especially across natural languages, only these functions and the functions in the reference pages listed in the SEE ALSO section should be used for character classification.

XBD V1_chap07(7), <locale.h>, <wctype.h>

First released in Issue 4.

The following change has been made in this version for alignment with ISO/IEC 9899/AMD1:1995 (“ISO C90, Amendment 1”) (E):

  • The SYNOPSIS has been changed to indicate that this function and associated data types are now made visible by inclusion of the <wctype.h> header rather than <wchar.h>.

The normative text is updated to avoid use of the term "must" for application requirements.

The iswupper_l () function is added from The Open Group Technical Standard, 2006, Extended API Set Part 4.

POSIX.1-2008, Technical Corrigendum 1, XSH/TC1-2008/0341 [302], XSH/TC1-2008/0342 [283], and XSH/TC1-2008/0343 [283] are applied.
