strncat() Append Specified Number of Characters to a String
#include <string.h> Required for declarations only
char *strncat(string1,string2,max);
char *string1; Destination string
char *string2; Source string
unsigned int max; Number of characters to append
strncat() copies, at most, the first 'max' characters of 'string2' to
the end of 'string1', and then appends a null character. If 'max' is
greater than the length of 'string2', the length of 'string2' is used
instead of 'max'.
Returns: A pointer to 'string1'.
Notes: Make sure that 'string1' is declared large enough to hold
'max' characters of 'string2'.
