NAME

       pmstrncat - safe string concatenation

C SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>

       int pmstrncat(char *dest, size_t destlen, char *src);

       cc ... -lpcp

DESCRIPTION

       pmstrncat is safe string concatenation routine with semantics similar to strncat(3).

       The  main  differences are that src must be null-byte terminated, destlen is the length of
       the destination buffer (dest) not the length of the source  string  (src),  and  pmstrncat
       ensures  that  dest  is  null-byte  terminated,  even  when strlen(src) is larger than the
       remaining space in dest (destlen - strlen(dest) on entry).

       On success, pmstrncat returns 0, else -1 indicates that src is too big and the result been
       truncated to ensure dest has no been overrun.
