43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.In ctype.h
45.Ft int
46.Fn isupper "int c"
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Fn isupper
50function tests for any upper-case letter.
51The value of the argument must be representable as an
52.Vt "unsigned char"
53or the value of
54.Dv EOF .
55.Pp
56In the ASCII character set, this includes the following characters
57(with their numeric values shown in octal):
58.Bl -column \&000_``0''__ \&000_``0''__ \&000_``0''__ \&000_``0''__ \&000_``0''__
59.It "\&101\ ``A''" Ta "102\ ``B''" Ta "103\ ``C''" Ta "104\ ``D''" Ta "105\ ``E''"
60.It "\&106\ ``F''" Ta "107\ ``G''" Ta "110\ ``H''" Ta "111\ ``I''" Ta "112\ ``J''"
61.It "\&113\ ``K''" Ta "114\ ``L''" Ta "115\ ``M''" Ta "116\ ``N''" Ta "117\ ``O''"
62.It "\&120\ ``P''" Ta "121\ ``Q''" Ta "122\ ``R''" Ta "123\ ``S''" Ta "124\ ``T''"
63.It "\&125\ ``U''" Ta "126\ ``V''" Ta "127\ ``W''" Ta "130\ ``X''" Ta "131\ ``Y''"
64.It "\&132\ ``Z''" Ta \& Ta \& Ta \& Ta \&
65.El
66.Sh RETURN VALUES
67The
68.Fn isupper
69function returns zero if the character tests false and
70returns non-zero if the character tests true.
71.Sh COMPATIBILITY
72The
73.Bx 4.4
74extension of accepting arguments outside of the range of the
75.Vt "unsigned char"
76type in locales with large character sets is considered obsolete
77and may not be supported in future releases.
78The
79.Fn iswupper
80function should be used instead.

85.Xr ascii 7
86.Sh STANDARDS
87The
88.Fn isupper
89function conforms to
90.St -isoC .
