NAME
strcat - concatenate two strings
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h> char *strcat(char *restrict s1, const char *restrict s2);
DESCRIPTION
The strcat() function shall append a copy of the string pointed to by s2 (including the terminating null
byte) to the end of the string pointed to by s1. The initial byte of s2 overwrites the null byte at the
end of s1. If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior is undefined.
RETURN VALUE
The strcat() function shall return s1; no return value is reserved to indicate an error.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
