Definition | #include <string.h> char *strncat(char *s1, const char *s2, size_t n);
The null byte (\0) at the end of string s1 is overwritten by the first character of string s2. If string s2 contains less than n characters, only the characters from s2 are appended to s1. |
Return val. | Pointer to the result string.
|
Notes | Strings terminated with the null byte (\0) are expected as arguments.
The behavior is undefined if memory areas overlap. |
Example | #include <string.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { char text1[BUFSIZ]; char text2[BUFSIZ]; int n; printf("Example of strncat - please enter 2 text lines and n!\n"); if(scanf("%s %s %d", text1, text2, &n) == 3) printf("%s\n", strncat(text1, text2, n)); return 0; } |
