ustrupr(3alleg4)

✨ ustrupr — the "make it SCREAM" function ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Allegro manual (yes, the Allegro game programming library, the icon herself 💅), and we're talking about ustrupr, which is lowkey one of the most straightforward little glow-ups in the whole library.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

char *ustrupr(char *s);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea: ustrupr takes every single lower case letter chilling inside s and replaces it with its upper case version. that's it. that's the function. she does one thing and she does it WELL. no cap. 👑

it's giving "text makeover montage" energy, fr fr. every lil lowercase baddie gets promoted to uppercase main character status. ✨

like, for example, watch this:

char buffer[] = "lower case string";
allegro_message(ustrupr(buffer));

literally just vibe-checks your string and hands it back in ALL CAPS. iconic behaviour honestly. 🎀

🦋 RETURN VALUE 🦋

the return value is the value of s. yeah. that's it. she gives you back the exact same pointer she was handed. same s, same energy, but now it's LOUD. 🫶

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• uconvert(3alleg4) — for the more complicated conversion situations, iykyk
• utolower(3alleg4) — the lowercase counterpart, her quieter sister
• ustrlwr(3alleg4) — makes everything lowercase instead, the chill one of the family

no cap, that's the entire page. tiny function, big personality. 💜

and that's a wrap, bestie! this was ustrupr(3alleg4) from Allegro version 4.4.3 — go forth and make your strings SCREAM, you absolute legend 🌟💖🎀
