NAME strcat - concatenate null-terminated strings SYNOPSIS strcat(x1, x2, ...) TYPES x1, x2, ... strings return string DESCRIPTION strcat(x1, x2, ...) forms a string starting with a copy of x1 before the first, if any, null character in x1, followed by the initial non-null characters of any later arguments x2, ... The length of the resulting string will be the sum of the lengths of the component strings considered as null-terminated strings (i.e. the lengths as returned by strlen()). The sum function may be used to concatenate strings where '\0' is to be considered as an ordinary character, either by sum(x1, x2, ...) or sum(list(x1, x2, ...)); in this case, the size of the resulting string is the sum of the sizes of the component strings. EXAMPLE ; A = "abc"; B = "XY"; C = " "; ; print strcat(A, B, C, B, A) abcXY XYabc LIMITS The number of arguments may not to exceed 1024.
