STRNCAT(3P)                POSIX Programmer's Manual               STRNCAT(3P)
PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
       strncat -- concatenate a string with part of another
SYNOPSIS
       #include <string.h>
       char *strncat(char *restrict s1, const char *restrict s2, size_t n);
DESCRIPTION
       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with  the
       ISO C  standard.  Any  conflict between the requirements described here
       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This  volume  of  POSIX.1-2008
       defers to the ISO C standard.
       The  strncat() function shall append not more than n bytes (a NUL char-
       acter 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 NUL character at the end of s1.  A terminating NUL
       character  is  always  appended  to  the result. If copying takes place
       between objects that overlap, the behavior is undefined.
RETURN VALUE
       The strncat() function shall  return  s1;  no  return  value  shall  be
       reserved to indicate an error.
ERRORS
       No errors are defined.
