+.Sh NAME
+.Nm strcat ,
+.Nm strncat
+.Nd concatenate strings
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <string.h>
+.Ft char *
+.Fn strcat "char *s" "const char *append"
+.Ft char *
+.Fn strncat "char *s" "const char *append" "size_t count"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn strcat
+and
+.Fn strncat
+functions append a copy of the null-terminated string
+.Fa append
+to the end of the null-terminated string
+.Fa s ,
+then add a terminating
+.Ql \e0 .
+The string
+.Fa s
+must have sufficient space to hold the result.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn strncat
+function appends not more than
+.Fa count
+characters where space for the terminating
+.Ql \e0
+should not be included in
+.Fa count .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn strcat
+and
+.Fn strncat
+functions return the pointer
+.Fa s .
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+The following appends
+.Dq Li abc
+to
+.Dq Li chararray :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+char *letters = "abcdefghi";
+
+(void)strncat(chararray, letters, 3);
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The following example shows how to use
+.Fn strncat
+safely in conjunction with
+.Xr strncpy 3 .
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+char buf[BUFSIZ];
+char *input, *suffix;
+
+(void)strncpy(buf, input, sizeof(buf) - 1);
+buf[sizeof(buf) - 1] = '\e0';
+(void)strncat(buf, suffix, sizeof(buf) - 1 - strlen(buf));
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The above will copy as many characters from
+.Dq Li input
+to
+.Dq Li buf
+as will fit.
+It then appends as many characters from suffix as will fit (or none
+if there is no space).
+For operations like this, the
+.Xr strlcpy 3
+and
+.Xr strlcat 3
+functions are a better choice, as shown below.
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+(void)strlcpy(buf, input, sizeof(buf));
+(void)strlcat(buf, suffix, sizeof(buf));

+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn strcat
+and
+.Fn strncat
+functions conform to
+.St -ansiC .
