     strcat(char * restrict s, const char * restrict append);

     char *
     strncat(char * restrict s, const char * restrict append, size_t count);


DESCRIPTION

     The strcat() and strncat() functions append a copy of the null-terminated
     string append to the end of the null-terminated string s, then add a ter-
     minating `\0'.  The string s must have sufficient space to hold the re-
     sult.
