Syntax

  #include <string.h>  
   
  char *strcat  (  
     char         *dst,   
     const char   *src);
  

Parameters

dst

(OUT) Points to the string to which to append a copy of another string.

src

(IN) Points to the string to be copied.

Return Values

strcat returns the value of dst.

Remarks

The strcat function or macro appends a copy of the string pointed to by src (including the terminating NULL character) to the end of the string pointed to by dst. The first character of src overwrites the NULL character at the end of dst.
