<h3>NAME
</h3> strcat, strncat - concatenate two strings
<h3>SYNOPSIS
</h3> #include <string.h>
char *strcat(char *dest, const char *src);
char *strncat(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n);
<h3>DESCRIPTION
</h3> 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.
<h3>RETURN VALUE
</h3> The strcat() and strncat() functions return a pointer to
the resulting string dest.
