ISUPPER(3) Library Functions Manual ISUPPER(3)

isupper, isupper_lupper-case singly-byte character test

#include <ctype.h>

int
isupper(int c);

int
isupper_l(int c, locale_t locale);

The () and () functions test whether c represents an upper-case letter.

In the C locale, the complete list of upper-case letters is A–Z. OpenBSD always uses the C locale for these functions, ignoring the global locale, the thread-specific locale, and the locale argument.

These functions return zero if the character tests false or non-zero if the character tests true.

On systems supporting non-ASCII single-byte character encodings, these functions may return non-zero for additional characters, and the results of isupper() may depend on the LC_CTYPE locale(1), but they never return non-zero for any character for which iscntrl(3), isdigit(3), ispunct(3), or isspace(3) is true.

The isupper() function conforms to ANSI X3.159-1989 (“ANSI C89”), and isupper_l() to IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (“POSIX.1”).

The isupper() function first appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX, and isupper_l() has been available since OpenBSD 6.2.

The argument c must be EOF or representable as an unsigned char; otherwise, the result is undefined.
