STRCAT (3)

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.
