strcat is short for string catenate.
// crt_strcpy.c // compile with: /W1 // This program uses strcpy // and strcat to build a phrase. #include <string.h> #include <stdio.h> int main( void ) { char string[80]; // Note that if you change the previous line to // char string[20]; // strcpy and strcat will happily overrun the string // buffer. See the examples for strncpy and strncat // for safer string handling. strcpy( string, "Hello world from " ); // C4996 // Note: strcpy is deprecated; consider using strcpy_s instead strcat( string, "strcpy " ); // C4996 // Note: strcat is deprecated; consider using strcat_s instead strcat( string, "and " ); // C4996 strcat( string, "strcat!" ); // C4996 printf( "String = %s\n", string ); }
Output
String = Hello world from strcpy and strcat
