.SH DESCRIPTION

If \fIwc\fP is WEOF, WEOF is returned.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"

.SH NOTES
The behaviour of \fBtowupper\fP() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
current locale.
.PP
This function is not very appropriate for dealing with Unicode characters,
because Unicode knows about three cases: upper, lower and title case.
