PROLOG

6       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
7       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
8       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
9       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

12       strncat - concatenate a string with part of another
13

SYNOPSIS

15       #include <string.h>
16
17       char *strncat(char *restrict s1, const char *restrict s2, size_t n);
18
19

DESCRIPTION

21       The strncat() function shall append not more than n bytes (a null  byte
22       and bytes that follow it are not appended) from the array pointed to by
23       s2 to the end of the string pointed to by s1. The initial  byte  of  s2
24       overwrites  the  null byte at the end of s1. A terminating null byte is
25       always appended to the result. If copying takes place  between  objects
26       that overlap, the behavior is undefined.
27

RETURN VALUE

29       The  strncat()  function  shall  return  s1;  no  return value shall be
30       reserved to indicate an error.
31

ERRORS

33       No errors are defined.
