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 `' character at the end of dest, and then adds a termi-
       nating `' 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.
