Function Documentation

strncat()

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

Concatenates two strings, appending no more than n characters.

Parameters

*s1	Destination string
*s2	String to be appended
n	Maximum number of characters to append

The strncat function appends not more than n characters (a null character and characters 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 character of s2 overwrites the null character at the end of s1. A terminating null character is always appended to the result. If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior is undefined.

Note

The maximum number of characters that can end up in the array pointed to be s1 is strlen(s1)+n+1.

Copying between overlapping objects is supported, but the source may be overwritten.

Returns

The value of s1
