  • NAME
      strcat, strncat - concatenate two strings
  • SYNOPSIS
      
       #include <string.h>
      
       char *strcat(char * dest , const char * src );
      

      char *strncat(char * dest , const char * src , size_t n );
  • DESCRIPTION
      The strcat() function appends the src string to the
      dest string overwriting the `\0' character at the end of
      dest, and then adds a terminating `\0' character.  The
      strings may not overlap, and the dest string must have
      enough space for the result.



      The strncat() function is similar, except that only the first
      n characters of src are appended to dest.
  • RETURN VALUE
      The strcat() and strncat() functions return a pointer
      to the resulting string dest.
  • CONFORMING TO
      SVID 3, POSIX, BSD 4.3, ISO 9899
