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 strncat() function shall append not more than n bytes (a null byte 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 null byte at the end of s1. A terminating null  byte
       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.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       None.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
