NAME

strncat — concatenate part of two strings

SYNOPSIS

#include <string.h>

char *strncat(char *s1, const char *s2, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION

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

RETURN VALUE

The strncat() function returns s1 ; no return value is reserved to indicate an error.

ERRORS

No errors are defined.
