<h3>STRCAT(3)           Linux Programmer's Manual           STRCAT(3)
</h3>

<h3>NAME
</h3>       strcat, strncat - concatenate two strings

<h3>SYNOPSIS
</h3>       #include &lt;string.h&gt;

       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.

<h3>CONFORMING TO
</h3>       SVID 3, POSIX, BSD 4.3, ISO 9899
