SYNOPSIS

10       #include <allegro.h>
11
12
13       char *ustrncat(char *dest, const char *src, int n);
14

DESCRIPTION

16       This function is like ustrcat() except that no more than `n' characters
17       from  `src'  are appended to the end of `dest'. If the terminating null
18       character in `src' is reached before `n' characters have been  written,
19       the  null  character is copied, but no other characters are written. If
20       `n' characters are written before a terminating  null  is  encountered,
21       the  function  appends  its own null character to `dest', so that `n+1'
22       characters are written. You should try to avoid this  function  because
23       it  is  very  easy  to  overflow  the destination buffer. Use ustrzncat
24       instead.
25

RETURN VALUE

27       The return value is the value of `dest'.
