!!NAME


strcat, strncat - concatenate two strings
!!SYNOPSIS


__#include
__''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''.
