STRCATL(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is STRCATL(3) from Schily´s LIBRARY FUNCTIONS, and it’s all about strcatl() — a function that concatenates strings. literally that’s the whole vibe 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

like, the shape of it is:

char *strcatl(outbuf,s1...sn,NULL)
char *outbuf,*s1...*sn;

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

strcatl() concatenates the “to” strings (s1...sn) into outbuf. The end of the list is signalled by NULL. so you just keep handing it strings and it keeps adding them, until NULL shows up and says okay we’re done ✨

---

💖 RETURNS 💖

Returns a pointer to the end of the concatenated output, in outbuf. so it gives you back the spot where all the string-joining action ended 🫶

---

🌸 NOTES 🌸

no check for buffer overflow is made. like, none. zero. this is not the function to ask for a safety net, bestie 😭

A strcatl() of the form: strcatl(foo,bar,foo,NULL) does not work correctly, although a strcatl() of the form "strcatl(foo,foo,bar,NULL)" will. The destination string can only be a source string if it is the first string in the list. iykyk — that ordering detail is the main character here 👑
