#PURPOSE: This program converts an input file
#to an output file with all letters
#converted to uppercase.
#PROCESSING:
#(1)Open the input file
#(2)Open the output file
#(3)While we're not at the end of the input file
# (a)read part of file into our memory buffer
# (b)go throught each byte of memory, if the byte is a lower-case letter, convert it to uppercase
# (c)write the memory buffer to output file

#OUTPUT: This function overwrites the current
#buffer with the upper-casified version.

#%rdi - current buffer offset
#%cl - current byte being examined
