groff_man(7):

Options
     The following groff options set registers (with -r) and strings
     (with -d) recognized and used by the man macro package.  To ensure
     rendering consistent with output device capabilities and reader
     preferences, man pages should never manipulate them.

     -rCS=1   Set section headings (the argument(s) to .SH) in full
              capitals.  This transformation is off by default because
              it discards case distinction information.
