.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn strcat
and
.Fn strncat
functions append a copy of the NUL-terminated string
function appends a copy of the NUL-terminated string
.Fa append
to the end of the NUL-terminated string
.Fa s ,
then add a terminating
then adds a terminating
.Ql \e0 .
The string
.Fa s
must have sufficient space to hold the result.
.Pp
The
.Fn strncat
function appends not more than
.Fa count
characters where space for the terminating
.Ql \e0
should not be included in
.Fa count .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The

The following appends

to
.Va chararray :
.Bd -literal -offset indent
char *letters = "abcdefghi";
(void)strncat(chararray, letters, 3);
.Ed
.Pp
The following example shows how to use
.Fn strncat
safely in conjunction with
.Xr strncpy 3 .
.Bd -literal -offset indent
char buf[BUFSIZ];

(void)strncpy(buf, input, sizeof(buf) - 1);
buf[sizeof(buf) - 1] = '\e0';
(void)strncat(buf, suffix, sizeof(buf) - 1 - strlen(buf));
.Ed
.Pp
The above will copy as many characters from
.Va input
to
.Va buf
as will fit.
It then appends as many characters from
.Va suffix
as will fit (or none
if there is no space).
For operations like this, the
.Xr strlcpy 3
and
.Xr strlcat 3
functions are a better choice, as shown below.
