PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond- ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux. NAME
strcat -- concatenate two strings SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h> char *strcat(char *restrict s1, const char *restrict s2); DESCRIPTION
The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard. The strcat() function shall append a copy of the string pointed to by s2 (including the terminating NUL character) to the end of the string pointed to by s1. The initial byte of s2 overwrites the NUL character at the end of s1. If copying takes place between objects that over- lap, the behavior is undefined. RETURN VALUE
The strcat() function shall return s1; no return value is reserved to indicate an error. ERRORS
No errors are defined. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
None. APPLICATION USAGE
This version is aligned with the ISO C standard; this does not affect compatibility with XPG3 applications. Reliable error detection by this function was never guaranteed. RATIONALE
None. FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None. SEE ALSO

strspn -- get length of a substring SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h> size_t strspn(const char *s1, const char *s2); DESCRIPTION
The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1-2008 defers to the ISO C standard. The strspn() function shall compute the length (in bytes) of the maximum initial segment of the string pointed to by s1 which consists entirely of bytes from the string pointed to by s2. RETURN VALUE
The strspn() function shall return the computed length; no return value is reserved to indicate an error. ERRORS
No errors are defined. The following sections are informative. EXAMPLES
None. APPLICATION USAGE
None. RATIONALE
None. FUTURE DIRECTIONS
