strcat strncat的使用方法

SYNOPSIS

       #include <string.h>

       char *strcat(char *dest, const char *src);

       char *strncat(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n);

strcat 把源字符串连接到目的字符串，并且覆盖目的字符串的'\0'，并且在连接后的字符串添加一个'\0'，所以，要用这个函数，目的字符串剩余空间大小，必须大于源字符串有效字符个数加一

strncat 把源字符串连接到目的字符串，并且覆盖目的字符串的'\0'。不同点是，strncat最多从源字符串中取出n个字节的内容，如果源字符串的大小大于n个字节，那么strncat就截取n个字节，并且在字符串末尾添加'\0'

NAME
       strcat, strncat - concatenate two strings

SYNOPSIS
       #include <string.h>

       char *strcat(char *dest, const char *src);

       char *strncat(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n);

DESCRIPTION
       The  strcat()  function appends the src string to the dest string, overwriting the null byte ('\0') at the end of dest, and then adds a
       terminating null byte.  The strings may not overlap, and the dest string must have enough space for the result.

       The strncat() function is similar, except that

       *  it will use at most n characters from src; and

       *  src does not need to be null-terminated if it contains n or more characters.

       As with strcat(), the resulting string in dest is always null-terminated.

       If src contains n or more characters, strncat() writes n+1 characters to dest (n from src plus the terminating null byte).   Therefore,
       the size of dest must be at least strlen(dest)+n+1.

       A simple implementation of strncat() might be:

           char*
           strncat(char *dest, const char *src, size_t n)
           {
               size_t dest_len = strlen(dest);
               size_t i;

               for (i = 0 ; i < n && src[i] != '\0' ; i++)
                   dest[dest_len + i] = src[i];
               dest[dest_len + i] = '\0';

               return dest;
           }

RETURN VALUE
       The strcat() and strncat() functions return a pointer to the resulting string dest.
