Syntax:

    #include <cstring>
    char *strcat( char *str1, const char *str2 );

The strcat function concatenates str2 onto the end of str1, and returns str1. For example:

     printf( "Enter your name: " );
     scanf( "%s", name );
     title = strcat( name, " the Great" );
     printf( "Hello, %s\n", title );

Note that strcat does not perform bounds checking, and thus risks overrunning str1 or str2. For a similar (and safer) function that includes bounds checking, see strncat.
