+.TH TOUPPER 3 1993-04-04 "GNU" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
+.SH NAME
+toupper, tolower \- convert letter to upper or lower case
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <ctype.h>
+.sp
+.BI "int toupper(int " "c" );
+.nl
+.BI "int tolower(int " "c" );
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B toupper()
+converts the letter
+.I c
+to upper case, if possible.
+.PP
+.B tolower()
+converts the letter
+.I c
+to lower case, if possible.
+.PP
+If
+.I c
+is not an unsigned char value, or EOF, the behaviour of these functions
+is undefined.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+The value returned is that of the converted letter, or
+.I c
+if the conversion was not possible.
+.SH "CONFORMING TO"
+ANSI C, BSD 4.3
+.SH BUGS
+The details of what constitutes an uppercase or lowercase letter depend
+on the current locale. For example, the default
+.B """C"""
+locale does not know about umlauts, so no conversion is done for them.
+.PP
+In some non - English locales, there are lowercase letters with no
+corresponding uppercase equivalent; the German sharp s is one
+example.
