3 <<strncat>>---concatenate strings
10 char *strncat(char *<[dst]>, const char *<[src]>, size_t <[length]>);
14 char *strncat(<[dst]>, <[src]>, <[length]>)
20 <<strncat>> appends not more than <[length]> characters from
21 the string pointed to by <[src]> (including the terminating
22 null character) to the end of the string pointed to by
23 <[dst]>. The initial character of <[src]> overwrites the null
24 character at the end of <[dst]>. A terminating null character
25 is always appended to the result
28 Note that a null is always appended, so that if the copy is
29 limited by the <[length]> argument, the number of characters
30 appended to <[dst]> is <<n + 1>>.
34 This function returns the initial value of <[dst]>
37 <<strncat>> is ANSI C.
39 <<strncat>> requires no supporting OS subroutines.
