NAME

6       strncat - concatenate a string with part of another
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <string.h>
10
11       char *strncat(char *restrict s1, const char *restrict s2, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION

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

RETURN VALUE

23       The strncat() function shall  return  s1;  no  return  value  shall  be
24       reserved to indicate an error.
