TOWUPPER(3) Linux Programmer's Manual TOWUPPER(3)
       towupper, towupper_l - convert a wide character to uppercase
       #include <wctype.h>
       wint_t towupper(wint_t wc);
       wint_t towupper_l(wint_t wc, locale_t locale);
   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
       towupper_l():
           Since glibc 2.10:
                  _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700
           Before glibc 2.10:
                  _GNU_SOURCE
       The towupper() function is the wide-character equivalent of the
       toupper(3) function.  If wc is a lowercase wide character, and there
       exists an uppercase equivalent in the current locale, it returns the
       uppercase equivalent of wc.  In all other cases, wc is returned
       unchanged.
       The towupper_l() function performs the same task, but performs the
       conversion based on the character type information in the locale
       specified by locale.  The behavior of towupper_l() is undefined if
       locale is the special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE (see
       duplocale(3)) or is not a valid locale object handle.
       The argument wc must be representable as a wchar_t and be a valid
       character in the locale or be the value WEOF.
       If wc was convertible to uppercase, towupper() returns its uppercase
       equivalent; otherwise it returns wc.
       The towupper_l() function first appeared in glibc 2.3.

       towupper(): C99, POSIX.1-2001 (XSI); present as an XSI extension in
       POSIX.1-2008, but marked obsolete.
       towupper_l(): POSIX.1-2008.
       The behavior of these functions depends on the LC_CTYPE category of
       the locale.
       These functions are not very appropriate for dealing with Unicode
       characters, because Unicode knows about three cases: upper, lower and
       title case.
