Remarks

strcat appends a copy of src to the end of dest. The length of the resulting string is strlen(rf^sO + strlen(src).

Return value

strcat returns a pointer to the concatenated strings.

Example

#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main (void)
{
   char destination[25] ;
   char  *blank = " ", *c = "C++'  *turbo =  "Turbo";
   strcpy (destination, turbo);
   strcat (destination, blank);
   strcat (destination, c);
   printf ("%s\n", destination);
   return  0;
