toupper, tolower — convert letter to upper or lower case
#include <ctype.h>
int
toupper( |
int | c); |
int
tolower( |
int | c); |
toupper() converts the
letter c to upper
case, if possible.
tolower() converts the
letter c to lower
case, if possible.
If c is not an
unsigned char value, or
EOF, the behavior of these
functions is undefined.
The value returned is that of the converted letter, or
c if the conversion
was not possible.
The details of what constitutes an uppercase or lowercase letter depend on the current locale. For example, the default “C” locale does not know about umlauts, so no conversion is done for them.
In some non-English locales, there are lowercase letters with no corresponding uppercase equivalent; the German sharp s is one example.
