- /* File : strxncat.c
- Author : Richard A. O'Keefe.
- Updated: 2 June 1984
- Defines: strxncat()
-
- strxncat(dst, len, src1, ..., srcn, NullS)
- moves the first len bytes of the concatenation of dst,src1,...,srcn
- to dst, terminating it with a NUL character unless len runs out, and
- returns the original value of dst.
- It is just like strcat except that it concatenates multiple sources.
- Roughly, strxncat(d, L, s1, ..., sn) <=> strxncpy(d, L, d, s1, ..., sn).
- Beware: the last argument should be the null character pointer.
- Take VERY great care not to omit it! Also be careful to use NullS
- and NOT to use 0, as on some machines 0 is not the same size as a
- character pointer, or not the same bit pattern as NullS.
-
- Note: strxncat is like strncat in that it will add at most one NUL,
- and may in consequence move fewer than len characters. No so the
- strxncpy and strxnmov routines, which resemble strncpy and strnmov.
