-.Sh NAME
-.Nm strcat ,
-.Nm strncat
-.Nd concatenate strings
-.Sh LIBRARY
-.Lb libc
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.In string.h
-.Ft char *
-.Fo strcat
-.Fa "char *restrict s1"
-.Fa "const char *restrict s2"
-.Fc
-.Ft char *
-.Fo strncat
-.Fa "char *restrict s1"
-.Fa "const char *restrict s2"
-.Fa "size_t n"
-.Fc
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Fn strcat
-and
-.Fn strncat
-functions
-append a copy of the null-terminated string
-.Fa s2
-to the end of the null-terminated string
-.Fa s1 ,
-then add a terminating
-.Ql \e0 .
-The string
-.Fa s1
-must have sufficient space to hold the result.
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn strncat
-function
-appends not more than
-.Fa n
-characters from
-.Fa s2 ,
-and then adds a terminating
-.Ql \e0 .
-.Sh RETURN VALUES
-The
-.Fn strcat
-and
-.Fn strncat
-functions
-return the pointer
-.Fa s1 .
-.Sh SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
-The
-.Fn strcat
-function is easily misused in a manner
-which enables malicious users to arbitrarily change
-a running program's functionality through a buffer overflow attack.
-(See
-the FSA.)
-.Pp
-Avoid using
-.Fn strcat .
-Instead, use
-.Fn strncat
-or
-.Fn strlcat
-and ensure that no more characters are copied to the destination buffer
-than it can hold.
-.Pp
-Note that
-.Fn strncat
-can also be problematic.
-It may be a security concern for a string to be truncated at all.
-Since the truncated string will not be as long as the original,
-it may refer to a completely different resource
-and usage of the truncated resource
-could result in very incorrect behavior.
-Example:
-.Bd -literal
-void
-foo(const char *arbitrary_string)
-{
- char onstack[8] = "";
-
-#if defined(BAD)
- /*
- * This first strcat is bad behavior. Do not use strcat!
- */
- (void)strcat(onstack, arbitrary_string); /* BAD! */
-#elif defined(BETTER)
- /*
- * The following two lines demonstrate better use of
- * strncat().
- */
- (void)strncat(onstack, arbitrary_string,
- sizeof(onstack) - strlen(onstack) - 1);
-#elif defined(BEST)
- /*
- * These lines are even more robust due to testing for
- * truncation.
- */
- if (strlen(arbitrary_string) + 1 >
- sizeof(onstack) - strlen(onstack))
- err(1, "onstack would be truncated");
- (void)strncat(onstack, arbitrary_string,
- sizeof(onstack) - strlen(onstack) - 1);
-#endif
