- *char *strncat(front, back, count) - append count chars of back onto front
- *
- *Purpose:
- * Appends at most count characters of the string back onto the
- * end of front, and ALWAYS terminates with a null character.
- * If count is greater than the length of back, the length of back
- * is used instead. (Unlike strncpy, this routine does not pad out
- * to count characters).
- *
- *Entry:
- * char *front - string to append onto
- * char *back - string to append
- * unsigned count - count of max characters to append
- *
- *Exit:
- * returns a pointer to string appended onto (front).
