NAME
       iswupper - test for uppercase wide character

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wctype.h>

       int iswupper(wint_t wc);

DESCRIPTION
       The  iswupper function is the wide-character equivalent of the isupper
       function. It tests whether wc is a wide	character  belonging  to  the
       wide character class "upper".

       The  wide  character class "upper" is a subclass of the wide character
       class "alpha", and therefore also a subclass  of	 the  wide  character
       class  "alnum",	of  the	 wide character class "graph" and of the wide
       character class "print".

       Being a subclass of the wide character class "print", the wide charac-
       ter class "upper" is disjoint from the wide character class "cntrl".

       Being a subclass of the wide character class "graph", the wide charac-
       ter class "upper" is disjoint from the wide  character  class  "space"
       and its subclass "blank".

       Being a subclass of the wide character class "alnum", the wide charac-
       ter class "upper" is disjoint from the wide character class "punct".

       Being a subclass of the wide character class "alpha", the wide charac-
       ter class "upper" is disjoint from the wide character class "digit".

       The wide character class "upper" contains at least those characters wc
       which are equal to towupper(wc) and different from towlower(wc).

       The wide character class "upper" always contains at least the  letters
       ’A’ to ’Z’.

RETURN VALUE
       The  iswupper  function	returns	 non-zero  if  wc is a wide character
       belonging to the wide character class "upper".  Otherwise  it  returns
       zero.

NOTES
       The behaviour of iswupper depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the cur-
       rent locale.

       This function is not very appropriate for dealing with Unicode charac-
       ters,  because Unicode knows about three cases: upper, lower and title
       case.
