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 over‐
writing the `\0' character at the end of dest, and then adds a termi‐
nating `\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 it will use at most n
characters from src. Since the result is always terminated with `\0',
at most n+1 characters are written.
RETURN VALUE
The strcat() and strncat() functions return a pointer to the resulting
string dest.
