.SH NAME
strcat, strncat \- concatenate two strings
.SH SYNOPSIS
The
.BR strcat ()
function appends the \fIsrc\fP string to the
-\fIdest\fP string, overwriting the null byte (\(aq\\0\(aq) at the end of
+\fIdest\fP string,
+overwriting the terminating null byte (\(aq\\0\(aq) at the end of
\fIdest\fP, and then adds a terminating null byte.
The strings may not overlap, and the \fIdest\fP string must have
enough space for the result.
