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.
