This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface

Application Usage

       None.

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.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The  strncat()  function shall append not more than n bytes (a NUL character 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.

Errors

       No errors are defined.

Name

       strncat — concatenate a string with part of another

       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.

Rationale

       None.

Return Value

       The strncat() function shall return s1; no return value shall be reserved to indicate an error.
