strncat() Append Specified Number of Characters to a String
#include <string.h> Required for declarations only
char *strncat(string1,string2,max);
char *string1; Destination string
const char *string2; Source string
size_t max; Number of characters to append
strncat() copies up to 'max' characters from 'string2' to the end of
'string1' and appends a null character. If 'max' is greater than the
length of 'string2', the length of 'string2' is used instead of
'max'.
Returns: A pointer to 'string1'.
Notes: Make sure that 'string1' is declared large enough to
hold all of 'string1' plus 'max' characters of
'string2' plus a single null character.
