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.
