+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions convert lowercase letters to uppercase, and vice versa.
+.P
+If
+.I c
+is a lowercase letter,
+.BR toupper ()
+returns its uppercase equivalent,
+if an uppercase representation exists in the current locale.
+Otherwise, it returns
+.IR c .
+The
+.BR toupper_l ()
+function performs the same task,
+but uses the locale referred to by the locale handle
+.IR locale .
+.P
+If
+.I c
+is an uppercase letter,
+.BR tolower ()
+returns its lowercase equivalent,
+if a lowercase representation exists in the current locale.
+Otherwise, it returns
+.IR c .
+The
+.BR tolower_l ()
+function performs the same task,
+but uses the locale referred to by the locale handle
+.IR locale .
+.P
+If
+.I c
+is neither an
+.I "unsigned char"
+value nor
+.BR EOF ,
+the behavior of these functions
+is undefined.
+.P
+The behavior of
+.BR toupper_l ()
+and
+.BR tolower_l ()
+is undefined if
+.I locale
+is the special locale object
+.B LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE
+(see
+.BR duplocale (3))
+or is not a valid locale object handle.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The value returned is that of the converted letter, or
+.I c
+if the conversion was not possible.

+.SH NOTES
+The standards require that the argument
+.I c
+for these functions is either
+.B EOF
+or a value that is representable in the type
+.IR "unsigned char" .
+If the argument
+.I c
+is of type
+.IR char ,
+it must be cast to
+.IR "unsigned char" ,
+as in the following example:
+.P
+.in +4n
+.EX
+char c;
+\&...
+res = toupper((unsigned char) c);
+.EE
+.in
+.P
+This is necessary because
+.I char
+may be the equivalent
+.IR "signed char" ,
+in which case a byte where the top bit is set would be sign extended when
+converting to
+.IR int ,
+yielding a value that is outside the range of
+.IR "unsigned char" .
+.P
+The details of what constitutes an uppercase or lowercase letter depend
+on the locale.
+For example, the default
+.B \[dq]C\[dq]
+locale does not know about umlauts, so no conversion is done for them.
+.P
+In some non-English locales, there are lowercase letters with no
+corresponding uppercase equivalent;
+.\" FIXME One day the statement about "sharp s" needs to be reworked,
+.\" since there is nowadays a capital "sharp s" that has a codepoint
+.\" in Unicode 5.0; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_%E1%BA%9E
+the German sharp s is one example.
