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 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.
