Function Documentation

strncat()

char* strncat	(	char *__restrict	dst,
		const char *__restrict	src,
		size_t	maxlen
	)

Appends at most maxlen characters from the character array pointed to by src, to the end of the null-terminated byte string pointed to by dest.

Appends at most count characters from the character array pointed to by src, stopping if the null character is found, to the end of the null-terminated byte string pointed to by dest. The character src[0] replaces the null terminator at the end of dest. The terminating null character is always appended in the end (so the maximum number of bytes the function may write is maxlen+1).

The behavior is undefined if the destination array is not large enough for the contents of both src and dest and the terminating null character. The behavior is undefined if the strings overlap. The behavior is undefined if either dest or src is not a pointer to a null-terminated byte string.

Parameters

dst	pointer to the null-terminated byte string to append to
src	pointer to the null-terminated byte string to copy from
maxlen	maximum number of characters to copy

Returns

a copy of dest
