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 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.

CONFORMING TO
       SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89, C99.
