strcat
char *strcat (char targetString[], const char stringToAppend[]);
Purpose
Appends a copy of a source string to the end of a target string, including the terminating ASCII NUL byte. The initial character of the string to append overwrites the NUL byte at the end of the target string. If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior is undefined.
Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| stringToAppend | const char [] | Contains a pointer to the NUL-terminated string that is appended to the end of targetString. The initial character of this string overwrites the NUL byte at the end of the target string. |
| Output | ||
| Name | Type | Description |
| targetString | char [] | Contains the target string to which string_toAppend is appended. The initial character of string_toAppend overwrites the NUL byte at the end of the string specified in this parameter. |
Return Value
